So, I was bitten by a dog that got off its leash about two weeks ago in Montana (I'm from Minnesota). It was the last day of my vacation, and the dog (a pit bull) ran up and bit me. I did nothing to provoke the attack, except walk past the car the dog had been tied to all day long. Turns out that the dog had just bit some kid before me, and then it bit me too. No serious complications, just a lot of pain and blood, tetnus shots, antibiotics and the ER, which all sucked. Anyways, I won't even have a big scar, it's healed up quite nicely, but I've found out that the owner (who is obviously a total douchebag, as she tied the dog to her bumper with no food or water in record heat (100+ degrees) all day long) has agreed to pay the medical bills, but hasn't offered so much as an apology. I feel really pissed about this, and a lot of my friends say that I should sue, and one of them said that I could even get a couple grand out of the whole thing. I'm torn on this. I feel that it's wrong to..
