Abstract
Whilst the majority of dog bites result in minor injuries requiring treatment with antibiotics and washout, those requiring microsurgical reconstruction are rare. We report the unique case of an adult patient who sustained two severe dog bite injuries from his own dog, several years apart, which necessitated free flap reconstructions. This case presented a unique reconstructive challenge and raises important questions regarding current legislation around dangerous dogs.
