KLANG: All he wanted to do was deliver a bouquet of flowers to his friend but ended up getting 10 stitches on his scrotum after a dog bit him.
Goh Boon Lea, a contractor and part time florist, had gone to his friend's house in Taman Bekerly here at 10.20pm on Sunday to deliver the flowers when the male mongrel, belonging to his friend's tenant, a 60-year-old woman, lunged and started to bark at him.
The 37-year-old said his friend tried to hold the dog back but it escaped and bit him.
“I pushed the dog away. Then, I noticed blood oozing from the wound. The pain was so bad. My sister, who was waiting in the car, rushed to help me into the car,” he said.
His sister drove him to the nearest clinic where he was given several injections and stitches.
“It was the scariest and most painful experience of my life. Luckily my two sons, aged three and six, were in the car with my sister,” he told a press conference organised by Kapar MCA division youth chief Datuk Song Kee Chai here Tuesday.
Goh said there were two holes on his jeans after the dog's teeth tore into them.
He then lodged a police report, adding that the dog had bitten his friend’s sister previously.
Goh, who said he was still traumatised, plans to take legal action against the dog owner. He is on two weeks' medical leave.
Song, who is also Klang Municipal Councillor, said he had forwarded a complaint to the council.
He said all dog owners ought to know how to take care of their dogs and keep them from being a danger to other people
