My son was bitten by the owner's dog during our visit, so I wasn't too happy with my experience. The owner says the problem is mine since his dog was on a chain. Yes, it was on a chain, but it was also beneath a porch and out of sight. My son came upon the dog inadvertantly while playing in the yard and tried to run away when the dog popped out from under the porch. The wound was deep and required emergency medical attention.
