No direct causes and effect, but I started parking a block away from our clinic in order to avoid having my Leaf damaged in the parking lot (which is a frequent occurrence since cars are parked 3 deep). Today I was walking to my Leaf at lunchtime and a large German Shepherd was lying on the grass next to the sidewalk. I slowed down so as not to scare it, and it saw me. I paused for a moment about 3 feet from the dog (which I have petted in the past when his owner was with him) and suddenly he leaped up, flew through the air and bit me on the forearm. He took a small chunk out of my arm. I had to go to the hospital and have the wound cleaned out well, steri-strips applied, and oral antibiotics for one week.
Moral of the story: I still love my Leaf, but plan to steer clear of any dogs along the route to my car. If I get more severely maimed in the future, I may consider parking in the lot.
