In day-to-day life, most of us will come across dogs of different breeds and different sizes on a frequent basis.

Dog Bite Statistics
Statistics show that nearly 4.7 million people are injured by dog attacks each year in the United States, leading to dozens of deaths every year. It is clear that dog bites are not a problem that can be easily ignored.
Though almost anyone can be the victim of an aggressive or poorly disciplined dog, young children are, unfortunately, especially at risk. Not only are children unaware of proper dog safety, but their curious and inquisitive nature leads children to engage in behaviors that many dogs find irritating. Furthermore, because children are smaller, weaker, and more susceptible to injury than are adults, the wounds inflicted by a dog are more likely to be serious, disfiguring, or even fatal.
