Dog Bites

Most dogs do not induce fear and anxiety. Unfortunately, if you have ever been attacked by a dog, this may be a natural response. Reports from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that over 2% of the American populous has been bitten by a dog.

Owner Responsibility

Owning a dog can be a very enjoyable experience, unless your dog suffers from persistent anxiety and is prone to abrupt behavioral changes. Such tendencies can make a dog lash out and attack when unprovoked. While these are stressful circumstances, it is important to understand that it is your responsibility to maintain public safety. If your pet inflicts harm or causes damages, you could be liable.
