Dog owners need to properly train and restrain their animals in order to keep their pets, themselves, and the general population safe. Common factors contributing to dog bite incidents and dog attacks include the following:
It is key to keep distance between yourself and a strange dog. Many dogs are beloved family pets, who may have gotten out of the house or yard by accident, and are perfectly friendly. However, some dogs can be aggressive, frightened, injured or ill, and therefore be prone to biting. It is wise not to touch a strange dog. Calling local Animal Control or luring the dog into an enclosed, safe area are much safer options than attempting to handle any strange animal. There is always a possibility that even the gentlest, most well-behaved dog will snap, due to fear, pain or stress. By keeping a safe distance, you keep yourself and the dog safe, as dogs deemed dangerous can be put down, and you may suffer terrible injuries from being bitten.
