I have been bitten by a dog just once in Thailand and that was back in 1993 as I was out for my morning run. The odd thing was that the small puppy was on a leash connected to the owner. It had jumped up as I ran by but I didn't think anything of it. I didn't notice the bite until I looked down later and there was a little trickle of blood running down the back of my leg starting right behind my knee and above my calf. I went to the hospital and went through the whole regimen that was required. The initial cleaning of the wound was a lot more painful than the actual dog bite!
