Good luck man, let us know how it goes. It would be very difficult for me to work when my dog was at the vet like yours. Make sure that when your dog is ok, that you go to the place were he got bitten again, and throw stick or something so that his bad memories is reduced.
The Wonder Dog was a brother. When I met my future wife, I had had him for around 3 years. She's allergic to cats. If she'd been allergic to the Wonder Dog, we wouldn't be together today. Turned out that he was a Labradoodle, only I didn't know what a Labradoodle was, because they hadn't been invented yet. Hypoallergenic. Didn't shed. Very trippy. Half black Lab and half Standard Poodle. Looked like a 50 pound black terrier breed of some sort. Amazingly smart. I wish you luck.
