Ever Survive An Animal Attack?

Do dogs count?

My wife and I were chased by a wild dog once. Not really sure how we got
away from it.

That pretty much covers it for me also.
Only major difference is my bullet wound is in my left knee, about 6 inches below where I was stabbed.

When I was a kid one of my best friends lived on a farm. They had this
old horse, and they warned me about getting too close to him. Naturally,
I ignored the warning. He charged me and just tried to crush me against
the fence. I did one of these running leaps over the fence. lol

Another time I was attacked by a polar bear. I knocked him out.

I was on my Aunt and Uncles farm back a few years ago and I walked over to the chicken coop because they had just gotten some baby chicks. As I was walking through the fields, a rooster out of no where charged at me and was like flying and screaming at me! It was pecking at me and it wouldn't stop! I ran so fast and literally soared over the gate! That was the worst attack that ever happened to me!

The only time the creature was formidable, it was a dog. Let's call it a TIE!

I DID have a praying mantis threaten my bike once!

I encountered only 4 bears. Not being one to pick a fight, ESPECIALLY with a bear, I was cautious. HECK, they all happened before I was 8, and they were probably full grown adults. One was TREED, and many gathered to se the bear, I kept my distance even then.

Oh yeah, I have had human attacks ALSO. It took a lot to get me to fight back though.

I was going to tell you about a recent event but c'est la vie. Probably more trouble than it is worth.

When I was very young I had some cousins that had a farm just outside town. They had some sheep and the alpha male ram was named "Jethro".

Jethro was very protective of his heard and we'd often play a game of chicken with Jethro and see who could come closest. The youngest cousin wasn't as fast as the rest of us Jethro started butting the cousin in the butt just about every step until the cousin could jump over the fence.

Not really an attack and it wasn't me. But it was pretty funny watching him get butted in the butt over and over while he was running and crying. It's the closest story I have to any kind of animal attack...

Aside from getting my arm shredded by my cat now and then, (youthful disrespect for his tail) I've never been attacked by an animal.

I have been attacked by a fly though. It was bizarre. I was at home one fine day and somehow a big fat fly had got inside my apartment. I went to the kitchen and found an old can of RAID and gave him a brief blast. The bugger went NUTS! It zoomed at me and bounced off my chest and then began a series of strafing runs at my head.

This lasted a moment or two then he disappeared. I don't remember finding his corpse. I've never sprayed a fly since. Rolled up magazines only.

Been severely bitten by dogs twice - once on the face and once on the arm, both times at work. Unfortunately it can be a part of the job description.

Does roleplay with a severely inebriated wife count?

Thanks for the chuckle, Ralph :-)

Was fixing a computer at a friends house and out of nowhere his pitbull bit at me.
I don't know how he missed, but all he got was a scrape of the flesh on my arm and ripped my shirt. Sadly that was the 3rd strike as he had bitten another friend and a pizza delivery person. They gave him up after he bit me.

I do survive an attack by my african grey parrot almost daily. she likes to bite me but I am assured its a sign of affection!

Well .. My neighbour's dog ran behind me ... I was running and he was running behind me .. it was a race , the prize of winning was REST FROM 5 INJECTIONS !!

I entered through an open door of someone's house .. then the dog owners caught the dog and took IT back ,,

I had some sweet fruit juice on my hands once and a baby mouse who just got his eyes open bit the end of my pinky....he didn't know he attacked and I survived.

Seriously - Munchie and I ran into a very young bear cub in N. Washington wilderness a few years back. I didn't see mom and it started to follow us. All the sudden here comes Mom. I thought I was toast because I couldn't get distance from the cub...he just kept following us. I had some dog treats in my pocket and threw them back to him. He stopped to check them out and found out they were edible and it gave us time to get away. When mom got to the cub we had plenty of distance (and were near enough to the car to make a mad dash out of there). Bears have incredible noses and I'm thinking that the kid smelled the cookies in the first place and that's why he was following. It was early spring so the animals are always hungry then.

Anyhow - didn't actually get attacked but I thought I was going to and that is very close enough for me, thanks. Grizzlies are people I really like to admire from a distance.

I was once attacked by a determined cougar. But I managed to escaped unharmed. Though I remember the attack fondly from time to time. It was a very harrowing experience to say the least.

Yes....just 2 years ago.

What an adrenalin rush! I barely remember how many times I was clawed, bitten, trampled on, and slapped around like a rag doll and all the while trying to run for my life.

That had to be THE MOST insane mouse I've ever encountered.

I ran away from a wild dog when I was a little girl. My husband got bit by a dog when he was 10. I think this is a common occurance.

My left hand was mauled by an Akita...required 30 stitches or so to sew the flesh that was hanging off by the skin. It was a real endurance fight, him biting and violently thrashing his head left to right while I was making dents in his rib cage with my right fist...ending up breaking the bones on the left side of his rib cage before he finally whined and relented. He hobbled and limped away, while I just plopped down on the street, a steady pool of blood steadily growing near my feet.

Red wing black bird attack while I was on a bicycle and smoking a cigy butt.
BP went up 45+ points and was missing a few hairs.
a few explitives deleted were flung to and fro too.

I have had many encounters with nefarious beasts.

I too had an encounter with a polar bear, those things are nasty.

I have also been mounted by a great dane.

... and chased by a cassowary in australia. Also I was once pooped on by a pidgeon.


Most animals consider me as kin as I shower infrequently.

Once I was at the zoo and an emu attacked me and one time when my little sister was about 5 she was looking at a goats butt when it decided to shoot marbles at her.

But yes humans are by far the nastiest critter I ever encountered.

CLASSIC. I LOVE IT



My story...I was surfing in the ocean a few years ago, got attacked by this 8 ft tiger shark. Knocked me off my board and then went to bite me. I punched the thing in the eyes and it went to swim away. I was able to grab him by the tail and keep punching him before he eventually slipped out of my grip and swam away.

If you want to hear my werewolf attack, lemme know

My pet snapping turtle gave me a 2nd belly button when I was about 13 yrs old. I picked him up from the wading pool I was keeping him in. He was inside his shell, and I was thinking that his head was facing the other way. I was wrong. He popped his head out of his shell and grabbed onto my stomach and wouldn't let go. Thankfully I wasn't holding him any lower. It could have been a real disaster.
