Three weeks have passed since O'Neill was attacked by a strange dog on a restaurant patio. We have watched the surveillance video and it shows he never touched the dog. The dog was not in control by the dog watchers who were babysitting the dog for the dog owner who was not there. I was by myself with the children and luckily John was close enough to rush him to the hospital where he met a plastic surgeon who sewed him up with 10 stitches. Since then he has been on antibiotics twice a day for two weeks and changing bandages twice daily. Now we are applying scar creams, gels, silicon strips, serious sunscreen to keep the wound from seriously scaring. Today O'Neill is very cautious around dogs and when we are in public places where dogs are present he wants to be held or at the very least wants someone to hold his hand. His behavior has shifted being more aggressive and with a shorter temper. I hope this will only be a speed bump in his life's story.
