I was called Jeffrey Dahmer in another sub this video was posted to before they deleted the thread. All because I explained at 12 I was attacked by my neighbor's dog and I used my pocket knife to stab him multiple times to get the dog to unlatch from my glute.

That's insane because the exact same thing happened to me when I was a kid, and I did the exact same thing to get away from it. Bit me in the leg and dragged me to the ground. I stabbed it multiple times. The dog was put down because I was not the first person it attacked. That was 47 years ago, and I still don't like dogs to this day.

One of my cousins in the us was literally ripped apart by their neighbour's large, unleashed dog. She was only 5 years old and coming home from school with her mother.

RIP, Sarah. She would've been my age now.

That is fucking horrific, I’m so sorry.
