Thanks guys,
Both times the bites happened, I was there.
One time, the friend was in the kitchen cooking when the dog (pitbull mix) showed up behind him, I guess looking for dropped food. Our friend turned around, bent over and started petting the dog under his chest and neck as he was talking to the dog. I did see the dogs mood change, he went from normal mood to angry eyes, but the time between then and the bite was only a second before he chomped down hard 2 times on his hand. Deep puncture wounds but worse than the cuts, the muscles where traumatized (like a very bad case of charlie horse) to the point he could not move his hand.
Second time with the wife was similar thing but in the living room. I wasnt there for that one but she told him to go somewhere else cause she was cleaning and went to pet him and chomp.
The dog is older, about 10-11 years old.
We do know that he has achy rear hips... however,
I will definately advise my friend to take the dog to the vet for the check up. Thanks guys.
Any further thoughts and opinions are definately appreciated.
