Vicious Dog Attacks & Canine Bite Injuries send over 800,000 people to seek medical attention or the Emergency Room EVERY YEAR . . .
|
 |
Dog bite injuries can lead to serious infections (such as tetanus and rabies), disability, and deformity.
There are many other animals besides dogs that can be vicious, dangerous, and killers.
Common animals such as squirrels, skunks, racoons and rabbits can be quite vicious when infected with rabies.
The time between bite injury wound and showing signs is variable and often prolonged. After the bite, the virus travels up the nearby nerves to the spinal cord, then the brain. |
The paralytic stage of rabies, accompanied by drooling and a dropped jaw, will make wildlife appear tame to humans and nocturnal animals may appear in daylight.
The series of shots for rabies treatment is quite painful, so the best reccomendation is to not allow animals to get close enough to bite you. Pepper spray is a non-lethal way to disable a dog from attacking, biting or otherwise injuring you. Have your pepper spray deterant ready. |

How to Avoid Dog Attacks
|
Never approach an unfamiliar dog.
Never play with a dog unless supervised by an adult.
Immediately report stray dogs or dogs displaying unusual behavior to an adult.
Never run from a canine and scream.
Avoid direct eye contact with a dog.
Don't disturb a canine that is sleeping, eating, or caring for puppies.
Don't pet a dog without letting it see and sniff you first.
Remain motionless when approached by an unfamiliar dog.
If bitten, report the bite to an adult immediately.
Avoid going onto private property unless specifically invited.
Do not run when confronted with a threatening dog. Running only stimulates the dog to increase its aggression.
Hold your ground and demonstrate moderate dominance by telling the dog firmly to go home. This usually works wonders. Firmly saying "no" and "sit" may also work.
Avoid direct eye contact, which the dog interprets as a challenge. Instead, appear nonchalant.
When the dog begins to back away, slowly retreat also, keeping the dog in view without paying much attention to it. If the dog begins to come back, stop and wait until it moves off again.
Do not try to outdistance the dog on a bicycle. Stop, dismount and stand with the bicycle between you and the dog. Without something to chase, the dog may lose interest.
Do not try to pet a strange, free-roaming dog.
Speak to the dog only in a calm voice. You might try: "Go away," "Go home" or "Nice dog."
If attacked, "feed" the dog something else--your jacket, bike, purse, books--to distract it.
If knocked down, curl into a ball, and use your hands to protect your head and neck.
