What happened
At approx. [REDACTED] I was on Hollandale Dr and I noticed I had not seen an elderly couple in about two weeks so when I got to their house at [REDACTED] I stopped to check on them. Their daughter came to the door and their dog pushed the lady through the door knocking her down trying to get to me. I put my foot up to protect myself and he bit through my shoe. I used my right arm to push against a wall so I wouldn 't fall down. I noticed my upper arm was a little sore but later got worse.
