<prompt> Human: I hope this is the correct sub for this. Here goes. It just happened over the weekend. We were at my friends place after the local mardi gras parade celebration. Bunch of adults and kids running around near my dog deaf American Bulldog and my buddies son ran over gave her a hug and she snapped on him three, what appeared to be licks, as he broke from the hug and blood began running down his cheek immediately. People started loosing their shit. Pandemonium ensues. 17 stitches and some nasty bruising later he is recovering well and I am working out paying for the emergency room bill and future med bills. Are there any resources for families without health insurance in this situation?  <response>: Wow...be extremely nice to them and hope they do not sue over it. That is of course on top of paying the bills for the medical treatment which you already said you are doing. Unfortunately I do not know any programs that would help in this situation.
