In honor of National Dog Bite Prevention Week, DrSophiaYin.com has released an important video for children and adults to watch showing why so many people are bitten by dogs.
“In this animation, a child approaches a dog in spite of the fact that the dog shows many body language signs showing that he’s scared. Because the child keeps approaching and the dog feels cornered, the dog turns to aggression in order to protect himself.” (www.drspohiatin.com)
Over 4.5 million people (adults and children) are bitten by dogs every year – and no dog bites without warning.
Taking the time to learn dog body language could save you from a medical bill as well as having to make a difficult decision about the “offending” dog.
National Dog Bite Prevention week is put on by the American Veterinary Medical Association each year. The goal is to educate people and prevent more dog bites from happening. https://www.avma.org/Events/pethealth/Pages/Dog-Bite-Prevention-Week.aspx
