Lady Pets Stranger's Dog, It Bites Her Nose Off

Anne Riel works as a greeter at a Home Depot in Ottawa, Canada, but last Friday when she attempted to greet an an elderly woman's Shih Tzu, it nearly bit her face off. That'll learn her.

“I petted her dog and as I slightly bent my head towards the dog, the Shih Tzu leaped out and bit me in the face,” said Riel, 39. “He literally jumped up and bit my nose off. It was bleeding everywhere,” she said. Co-workers rushed to her aid. But the dog’s owner, Riel said, tried to bolt. “She never stopped to see if I was OK,” she said. “If the ambulance lady hadn’t told her to wait for police, she was leaving as if nothing happened.” Ottawa Paramedics arrived within five minutes and treated Riel. “She had a skin tear and penetration of the left nostril,” said superintendent of operations Garth Tourangeau. Riel was taken to the Ottawa Hospital where plastic surgeons were called in. “They sewed it together with seven stitches,” Riel said. “There’s a big chunk missing off the front of my nose.” Riel said she’ll need at least three more surgeries — and after the first one, she’s not happy. “The five or six freezing needles, it was like hell,” she said. “The pain — childbirth was nothing compared to that pain.” Riel said she’s furious with the dog’s owner. “She gets to sit at home and get away with it while I’m in so much pain,” she said.

Anne says she won't be satisfied until the dog is put down.
