Jeff Kocsis, along with Olga Negron and Matt McKernan, are running for a two-year seat on Bethlehem City Council. Kocsis has been knocking on doors all over Bethlehem, but had a recent close call.

Most people aren't home when candidates knocks on doors. Candidates write out a little "Sorry I missed you" note and sticks it in the door with a flier. Kocsis was doing that when he saw a dog that was none too happy to see him.

Maybe the dog was a Republican.

Because it was behind a closed window, Kocsis was unconcerned. Well, the window may have been closed, but the door was open. As the candidate turned his back, the dog jumped him from behind, like a ninja, and sunk his fangs into the back of the political newcomer's thigh.

"It got me good!" stated Kocsis, who insists "I'm a dog guy."
