Hi Murfhum Dog owners invariably say he or she when they refer to their dogs. Of course it is also correct. Bite is an irregular verb: He bit me [in the leg].

If you don't know the dog, for example, a stray dog, you can say It bit me.
If you know the dog, as for example, a pet dog whose name you know, you can say He bit me or She bit me.
