Welcome
The issue of dog bites is multi-faceted and can be seen from a wide perspective of viewpoints:
- the victim
- the dog owner
- the victim's and dog owner's families
- public safety concerns
- animal control agencies
- legal regulations and codes
- law suits
- insurance claims and home owner policies
- pending legislation in various states
- trigger mechanisms that provoke dog bites
- educational aspects to protect yourself and your family from having this occur to you
Most of us have seen a dramatic increase in the news media of dog bites, mauling and dog attacks in the past few years.
Is this just a 'news frenzy'? Or is it very real and an issue all of us should not just be concerned about, but should be taking assertive measures to avoid this from happening to ourselves and our family members, regardless of our viewpoint in the issue?
