Summarize the following:
If you notice the dog is approaching you very aggressively or starts to attack you, grab a nearby object and put it between your body and the dog. Use a purse, a bag, an umbrella, a backpack, or even a bike as a shield between you and the dog. You can also use a car door as a shield if you are by your car when the dog attacks. If you do not have an object nearby, lie down on the ground and place your hands over your head. Curl into a ball and use your hands to protect your neck and head so the dog cannot get to these areas. Shout or yell loudly to attract passersby who can help you. You may yell, "Dog attack" or "Help me." If you get bitten or sustain other injuries like scratches or scrapes from the dog, go to your nearest emergency center right away. Get your wounds treated and make sure you get the necessary vaccines so you are not at risk of developing an infection or disease. You should also report the dog if it attacks you, as you do not want other people to be at risk of getting attacked as well. Describe the breed of the dog and the dog's name, if you know it. You may also need to discuss where and when you were attacked by the dog.
Put an object between you and the dog. Lie face down with your hands over your head. Call for help. Get treated for any injuries right away. Report the dog to your local Animal Control.
