Dog attacks are the most serious potential problem and there is always a great deal of interest in the issue.
Attacks can occur against humans, other dogs and other animals.
Most dogs don't bite people or other dogs. Those that do are either frightened, dominant, protective or possessive. Attacks against wildlife is part of the predatory instinct natural to all dogs. Without wanting to underrate the seriousness of dog attacks in either the private home or public open space, they need to be kept in perspective. People are concerned about dog attacks but the extent to which the mass media amplifies isolated problems out of proportion needs to be questioned.
