Yes, I'm Romanian, yes, I know about those two kids (only two?), yes, I've run away from stray dogs when I was a kid more and once, and, yes, my dad himself has the mark of a dog bite on his inner calf (which he got when he was around 5 years of age).
> Also, why are you inserting yourself in a discussion about an article without reading the article?
Because of my direct lived experience with stray dogs (granted, not in Central Asia but in Eastern Europe), which I'm pretty much sure the author of the article didn't have, nor most of the people reading said article. And because I've already read similar articles countless of times, for more than 15-20 years now (just web search for Brigitte Bardot and Romania), at some point you've read one you've read them all.
