A play bite shouldn’t draw blood! I suppose possibly/understandably you drew your hand back?I like dogs, but having been bitten (admittedly only a play bite, but it drew blood) by one that was running free on the local playing field I'm in the keep the bloody things under control camp! There are now signs asking/telling people to keep their dogs on leads on most of the playing field. Not that much heed is paid.
It's the first time I've seen any sheep on this field which has a newly popular footpath running it's full length. Which could well explain the signs. I wonder if they'll last. The one on a gate to the canal bank, which has no public access but is walked, didn't last long. Still, I expect these sheep will be moved in a week or two.
I’ve had my share of dog bites from other people’s dogs and (I’m told, I have no memory of it) I was attacked by a dog when I was a toddler and that it shredded my coat and was then killed by the family dog — an alleged husky cross
The same farm I referred to earlier is bit casual about its sheep getting out onto the road too -- not a moorland or quiet but a busy A class road but narrow and winding.
I’m just saying there’s responsibility on both sides.
