 Dog Bites
The Facts The experts agree that the solution is education. Children need to be educated about how to be safe around dogs. However, despite the fact that more than half of the seriously injured dog bite victims are children and that statistics report that more than half of all children will be bitten by a dog by age 12, schools do not teach dog safety. It is up to parents to teach their children what they can do and must not do around dogs. Children need to know how to read the danger signs from a dog and what situations must always be avoided, like going into a neighbor's backyard where there is a dog.
