north americans will be bitten by dogs
this year, and about one million dog bites
will go unreported.

to them. Unleashed dogs will account for most
of the bites inflicted.

committed on training their pet is what leads
to most of these dog bites. We must realize

Like their food, toys.
4.Dogs will protect their space such as sleeping area,
yard, porch, cars and home.
5.Dogs are predatory by nature and love to chase
and attack.

bite with alot less provocation.
7.A dog being startled may lash out and bite.
How to Prevent Bites

bite. Not even play biting.

at a dog. It may think its an invitation to bite.
17.You should never pet stray dogs or ones running loose.
