Wow thats a lot of money!!
I'm sure most of that will go to pay his insurance company back for his time spent in the hospital.

The only time I was hospitalized due to a bite was because of a cat bite. I would much rather be bitten by the nastiest dog than by a cat.

The small puntures of the cats teeth get infected very easily and because of the shape they don't heal overly quick... dogs tend to have more of a rip which actually gets infected less easily... partly because of the way the dog moves when it bites.
I'd really doubt it'd be that large if he hadn't incurred medical expenses that needed to be paid for.
