Ryan's Dog Bite

We were at my mom's for dinner. Tyler, Ryan, Cameron and Madi walked down to the park to feed the ducks. A lady had 4 dogs walking on leashes, but the pit-bull slipped out of it's collar. It bit through his jean shorts on his bum and leg and knocked him down. The security guard and passer-by's made the lady leave, but didn't get any information from her (name, address, shots etc). By the time the kids came home, we checked him out, and then went back, everybody was gone. He was bleeding, so we thought it would be best to have him checked out at Urgent Care. I think he was really more embarrassed because they had to look at his bum and cleaned and bandaged it to prevent infection (No Stitches or anything needed). The dr said he should be fine, but put him on antibiotics just in case. Animal control is patrolling the area, but it is very unlikely they will find anything. Usually they would only quarantine the dog for 10 days anyway watching for rabies, and chances are the dog has had his shots (being a family dog, etc). Kenny teased him that he would turn into a werewolf on the next full moon, and he thought that would be great to get revenge and bite the dog back! He's a little more afraid of dogs now, but he should be fine! He went to school the next day and only told a few of his friends.
