I just got knocked off on my morning commute by a German Pointer.
I was emerging from a fence and hedge-lined path into an open area of park, and never even saw the creature until he slammed into me.
The tough little canine just got up and carried on running, but left me down with cuts and bruises.
Is it cos you smell like a cat? 😀
Did he then proceed to wee in your shoes?
Some people have the wurst luck.

No, but I might have.
Aren't you supposed to get angry and post stereotype comments about dog owners when that happens?
To be fair, I think the owner was as surprised as I was. I was more shocked than angry, and when he asked me if I was okay, I distinctly remember thinking through the whole scene and realising that there was nothing that could have prevented it. A genuine accident.
A lead could have prevented it?
Yes, without a doubt a lead could have prevented it. I can't believe I'm defending a dog owner, but the fact is, he was letting his dogs run in a large open field; and if I was the owner of a couple of German Pointers, I would have done exactly the same thing as he was doing.
Jamie, don't be a wiener
Fail - I'm desperate to submit something witty and mildly stereotypically racist, just can't think of anything. This post is screaming out for it.
might feel a bit ruff in the morning

Have you had an accident and it wasnt your fault.......
Anyway - what was this German bloke's name and what was he pointing at? ❓
Theres a new tv programe on soon about dogs attacking cyclists and then posting the footage on utube.
With sub titles as dogs cant speak english.
This incident would have been enhanced had the hound tried to make sweet beautiful love to you as you struggled to get up, or even if you had tried to make sweet beautiful love to the hound, owner or anyone else in the park; but as it is, meh!

If you let this go he'll be annexing the Sudetenland before you can say Neville Chamberlain.

If he's perambulating he can't be pedalling. But, otherwise, 9/10.
perambulating present participle of per·am·bu·late (Verb)
Verb
Walk or travel through or around (a place or area), esp. for pleasure and in a leisurely way.
Walk from place to place; walk about.
I doubted my knowledge of the word perambulate and checked teh interwebz. I'm pretty chuffed with 9/10 though 😀 I guess bold type is asking for scrutiny, I thought it would be more tabloidy.

10/10 from me 😉
Was it mine. I've not seen him since I left for work. He's a mad bastard.
Commuting is a dog eat dog world... time to buy a helmet cam?
Whatever the reichs & wrongs of the situation, I'm just happy pooch & rider were both ok.
Did you get a bruise on your bummel?

Were you surprised enough to leave a little Bismark in your snappers?
