Comply with local ordinances regarding the reporting of dog bites. Consult your veterinarian for advice about dog behavior that will help prevent similar problems in the future. Treat wounds first. If your own dog bites you, confine it immediately and call your veterinarian to check your dog's vaccination records. These details may help animal-control officers locate the dog.
Dogs are wonderful companions.
