It's #Dog Bite Prevention Week. According to avma.org, than 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs each year in the US, and at least half of those bitten are children. Dogs bite for a variety of reasons, but most commonly as a reaction to something. If a dog (or any other animal) attacks a person while they are in a public place, including the private property of the animal’s owner, that owner is liable for damages suffered by the victim. Facts: • Almost 1 in 5 people bitten by dogs require medical attention. • Children are the most common victims of dog bites and are far more likely to be severely injured. • Most dog bites affecting young children occur during everyday activities and while interacting with familiar dogs.
