Love them we do, but at the same time, we must never forget that our dogs are carnivores with teeth capable of causing great damage especially to children. Children are involved in the majority of bites.
Children are smaller and more vulnerable.
In addition, a child's unpredictable behavior can seem frightening or threatening to a dog, leading to a bite. And when a child is scared, the natural tendency to run can trigger an animal's chase instinct. Fortunately, there's a lot parents can do to reduce the risk. Behavior problems never go away on their own. Alter your pets, especially the males.
