We often hear about dog bites and injuries. In fact, dog bites and injuries are almost insignificant compared to other injuries, but since they are injuries, they must be noticed.
Generally speaking, dogs do not attack people at will. So, why do dogs attack people?
There are several main reasons:
- You invade the dog’s domain;
- You went and disturbed the mother dog when she was pregnant or was nursing her puppies;
- You bullied or overplayed the dog while playing with it;
- You harassed a dog that was eating, etc.
For these reasons, you can avoid them by avoiding them, that is to say, don’t disturb the dog’s normal life.
When you meet someone else’s unfamiliar dog outside or on the road, don’t be eager to try to play with the dog. Be careful not to run towards the dog sharply so as not to cause misunderstanding of the dog;
If the dog approaches you, you’d better stay put and let the dog smell it, and you can speak softly to the dog. If the dog seems to be friendly, you can talk to the owner while petting it gradually.
If the dog seems friendly, you can talk to the owner while petting it gradually. If the dog shows reluctance, you’d better give up the intention of playing with it and leave it slowly. However, you should never take the form of running, as this can provoke the dog’s excitement and can be quite dangerous.
If you meet a stray dog or a dog being chased on the road, you should immediately stand still, stop walking, and take care not to block the dog’s escape route, try to avoid shouting, and don’t panic and run away. If necessary, you can effectively prevent the dog from approaching by making the action of bending down to pick up something on the ground.
