Every year, more than two million children suffer a dog bite. The National Humane Society and other animal organizations show 61 percent of all dog attacks occur in the home. Odds of a child suffering a fatal dog bite are seven out of ten times. Animal experts say the best way to prevent dog bites is becoming educated about them.
Some animal organizations have made it a priority to educate the public about growing concerns of dog bites and what can be done to prevent them from occurring. There are different reasons a dog bite might happen. A dog may have received harsh treatment. Mixed dogs are more likely to bite than a pure breed, and dogs that are not spayed or neutered are three times more likely to bite than dogs that are. A chained up dog is three times more likely to bite than an unchained dog.
By learning how to properly socialize a dog, owners can better ensure dog bites are prevented. Children should not be left unsupervised with animals in general, which includes dogs.
