First of all, your priority should be "Do I need medical attention" not "Can I sue". However, if the bite was severe enough to warrant medical attention AND you were not At Fault for the bite (be honest here) then you should approach the dog's owner about being reimbursed for any expenses. If the dog's owner refuses a reasonable request for reimbursement THEN consider making a small claim; NOT before.

jeez, what is WRONG with people?

You can sue without a lawyer. You have the right to represent yourself if you want to.
