I got a picture like that too, damn tourist traps! Too much too resist though for a mere pitance of $14.95 plus applicable taxes.
Don't blame your dog, poor little Dude.
Dogs if anything will carry the little brown dog tick or a soft bodied tick. While disgusting are primarily a solitary beast and prefer dogs to a human host. Plus they bite in a single spot for prolonged periods and you will not have the numerous bites that you have displayed.
The only other culprit could be the flea. Fleas are extremely rare to non existant in Alberta. Unless you made a recent trip to the interior of BC we can rule out the flea.
The other reason that this does not seam to be fleas is once again the location of the bites. Fleas will bite legs between the ankles and knees.
