Did you know that more than one million
north americans will be bitten by dogs
this year, and about one million dog bites
will go unreported.

Its sad but most of the victims will be children.
These dog bites will come from animals known
to them. Unleashed dogs will account for most
of the bites inflicted.

What Makes Dogs Bite

Not being educated and pet owners not being
committed on training their pet is what leads
to most of these dog bites. We must realize
that dogs don't normally become a part of our
families already trained.

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.
6.A stray dog may feel upset being lost or hurt and
bite with alot less provocation.
7.A dog being startled may lash ...
... out and bite.

bite. Not even play biting.
