I don't have a lot of experience with how the French do it. I'm Irish.
I have been bitten by a dog on 4 different occasions. 3 times by little yappy chihuahas, and once by a pair of little hairy yappy things. No lasting scars, however.
No, but I ran over one once. That is a bad, bad smell. Thankfully, I think it had already been hit by another car, so I just got the residual spray in my A/C system. It only lasted a few days.
Wait... are you my mom, and you're going to lay a guilt trip on me for all the times I told you when I was younger that I hadn't been drinking and I really was? Cause that would suck.
