Stray dog scratched with teeth, blood

2017-08-31 21:19:58
Yesterday, a stray dog scratched my index finger with it's teeth, and it bled. I stopped the bleeding, washed the blood with water, and cleaned my finger with antibacterial wipes. Plus, my finger had a glossy tissue over the wound. Today, the wound is red and hurts a bit when I bend the finger.
