On a sunny day in Ironbridge county, I was going outside to throw the football with my dad around 12:00. We were out there having a very nice time when I threw the ball into the woods and he told me to go into the woods and get it while he went and got us a snack. I went into the woods and got the football when I heard barking. I had never liked dogs and I still don’t. This dog chewed through his leash and ran after me. My first instinct was to run but then I looked and saw the dog was getting closer so I tried to run into my house. When I got to the side door it was locked by then the dog was even closer. I did not know what to do so I froze. The next thing I knew the dog was about to jump on me. He scratched my face and then my dad came out
