Last month, a Denver news reporter was bitten by an Argentine mastiff, requiring hospitalization for her injuries. Kyle Dyer was reporting the rescue of the dog that was stuck in icy water for an extended period of time. As she bent down to pet the mastiff, he bit her. Now, one month, 90 stitches and two surgeries later, she has been able to return to work. The residual injuries are a scar on top of her mouth and she has no feeling in her lips. Fortunately Kyle is in such high spirits and is happy for the dog. The mastiff was ultimately given back to his family after being quarantined for ten days. Although dogs are wonderful animals that often provide great compassion to their owners, dogs have emotions and fears. Their way of communicating is through adverse behavior such as biting.
