My wife and I frequent this off leash dog park in Washington and was approached by a pack. We've interacted with these guys before and were not concerned at all. Their owners are really friendly and always polite to everyone at the park. We did notice, however, that they had an addition to the pack today; a newfoundland. This guy was the one that got my hand. When it happened, I was trying to protect my face from being licked. The bite wasn't severe, but he did puncture the skin and caused bleeding. The owners were really apologetic and told me that they've been trying to socialize him for two months since they rescued him. Once everything settled down I told them that I wasn't mad at them and that I knew it was an accident. I did however, emphasize that I'm a very laid back person and grateful that this didn't happen to somebody else (like a kid). They told me that this was the final straw for the dog and they were going to return the guy to the shelter. I didn't get their contact information because I wasn't worried. I did go to the ER just to make sure nothing serious was wrong with my hand. Was this the right approach to take or should I have done more?
TL:DR I was bit by a dog (wasn't severe but did puncture) and didn't get contact information from owners. Was this the right approach?
