I accidentally punched a dog in the face

So I was going along on my regular running route about 45 minutes ago before dinner and I was running along this elevated lawn thing in front of this person's house. Well, new people moved in and apparently they have a big fucking Irish Wolfhound who likes to bark at people. I didn't know this, so as I'm running by minding my own business this thing comes out of nowhere and barked like 2 inches from my face(remember, the lawn is elevated so it is at face height not lower) and I was so scared I just socked it in the face. He whimpered really loudly(I could hear it over my music) and ran back towards the house.


Question is, should I go tell them I punched their dog in the face? Or just pretend it never happened?

Sounds like you didn't hit it accidentally, but in complete self-defense. You should go check if the dog has any visible bruises from the hit, if it's trying to paw or lick the spot where you hit continuously and decide based on that. That said, I'm almost certain that you just scared and surprised the dog and that was the main reason for its loud whimpering.

Do what your conscience tells you.

My only problem is that I hit it really hard, cause I've been bitten by dogs before. It was like half reflex and half 'fuck you dog, don't bite me'

From an outside point of view you are completely justified. But if it were my dog I would probably attack you with the nearest heavy blunt object. So no dont tell them you hit their dog.

Just Think of it this way;

You: Hey, guys....i punched your dog in the face.
Them: (Insert explatives and blunt force trauma here)

dont worry about it so much. the dog is most likely fine, and unless the owners were outside, i doubt they saw it. i think youre ok.

dont feel bad...be glad that you have instincts that say "hey this thing might attack, punch it" and not instincts that say "hey this thing might attack, release bowels"

those dogs are generally extremely gentle as a breed, but if a random dog that size came at me i think it would be instinctive to react in self defense. but i mean, if you feel like you want to own up to hitting their dog then it's ok and you should, but i mean, if no one saw, i'm pretty sure the dog is fine, then it's not a big deal. although on the other hand, you might want to go tell them and meet the dog so that you can feel more comfortable if this should happen again on your next runs.

you shoulda gone back to the house after or something and told the owners exactly what happened. i can see exactly why you ran though, your adrenaline musta been going mock 10 at that point.

Dude, I love dogs but a neighbors dog used to chase me when I was on a bike so I slammed on the brakes one day and soccer kicked it good and hard. It didn't learn so the next time I had a bullwhip to snap around to scare it.

haha your dad is cool as hell then.

and i wouldnt go and tell them, what good could come of that? and i know your pain of being bit by a dog, my st. bernard (aka the Beethoven dog, over 200 lbs) bit me and i had to be in a hospital for a week cause my whole arm got infected. damn bastard.

and one time a huge ass dog was chasing my dad when he was running and it chased him all the way to our house. instead of just shutting the door when he got to our house, he stood there with it open and slammed the door hitting the dog in the face to teach it a lesson because he thought it was ridiculous for any dog to act like that. to me its a reasonable consequence for the retarded dog that chasing people in their houses.

I accidentally punch my dog in the face once...he got over it in like 2 minutes, I wouldn't worry about it. However, that was a hilarious story.

i was over at my friend's house last week playing soccer and i kicked the ball as hard as i could to him.  the only problem was his dog ran right infront of me as i kicked it and got nailed directly in the face.  my friend was laughing so hard.

My dog got kicked by a horse last week. He was thrown probably a good 10ft. Did a couple rolls but got right up and kept going.

haha im sorry but this is hella funny. im sure the dog is fine. i ACTUALLY accidentally backhanded my dog while my arm was swinging and i knocked out her baby tooth. she seemed confused but wasn't whimpering in pain or anything and she hasn't had any problems since. so i probably wouldn't tell them, unless you're really feeling like you need to get it off your chest.

guaranteed that dog is fine unless this guys i mike tyson. i have about 40 dogs cuase my dad is a dog racer anyway long story short a dog was attacking this baby goat and once dogs get like that its like a switch and they just giver.

basically it ended with my nuckels having almost no skin left on them from beating the fuck out of this dog to get him of and he had like 2 scratches.

Im with Malcolm on this one.

Once after a long night of fun I punched a horse. I didn't remember it until a friend told me the next day. Now Im not a violent person and idk why I did it (other than the fact that I wasn't thinking very clearly) but I felt really bad so I brought it an apple. I know that it wasnt your fault like it it was with me, but it did help me feel a little better about myself, and Im sure the dog would appreciate it.
