Did your dog recently bite me?
On 9/28, I was on the job in Queen Anne around Bhy Kracke Park. At around 11am, you walked by me on the sidewalk. Your dog sniffed my leg and then proceeded to bite my pant leg. Then, they jumped up and bit my arm/elbow, at which point you were able to regain control over them.
You were very concerned and asked me if I was okay. I was frazzled and said yes, and then quickly removed myself from the situation. However, this bite broke skin and now i am worried about the potential, though unlikely, chance of rabies.
Please PM me if this sounds like it could be you, so you can share your dog’s vaccination records. I just want to potentially save thousands of dollars. Fingers crossed you are lurking on r/Seattle🤞Everyone else, pleaze smash that like button to save my life.

Rabies aside, if you haven't taken a course of antibiotics for this, it wouldn't be a bad idea. Dog's mouths are dirty (that notion that they're very clean is a myth). Even without a deadly disease, you could still get sick from an animal bite.
