Dog is well

It was in the late summer of 1952, shortly before I was to start in first grade. We had been on holiday at my aunt's in Lithuania, where I had been bitten by a dog. A small white dog, which in a light-hearted game had come to know me by mistake. It was a ***pity for it***, but I came to bear misery and had to have 40 injections in the stomach for some time. Against rabies. When we returned to Leningrad after the holidays, I continued to get them.

***I came to regret this (having played around with this little dog)*** as I afterwards had to undergo a very painful intra-abdominal anti-rabies vaccination treatment of 40 shots (post-exposure prophylaxis)

The Pedant is old enough to have received anti-rabies vaccination back when they were a series of intra-abdominal shots. It is not a fond memory.

All the visceral organ transplant patients died of rabies except for one patient who got a liver -- that patient vaguely recalled maybe having gotten rabies PEP (back when it was the horrible intraabdominal variety) as a child.

  -> @Chris S, the difficult part here is translating the sense. In full agreement with you that this cannot be transliterated.

neutral  Norskpro: "came to know me by mistake"? I believe it is "bite me by mistake"
