How to deal with a stray dog
Examine the urgency of the situation.
Seeing an unattended dog outside may instinctively move you to help, but you want to make sure that you are not making the situation worse. For instance, if you see a dog weaving through traffic, chasing after the dog could put you, other pedestrians, and motorists in danger.
Options:
-- Wait until the dog is in a safe place before providing assistance. If the dog is already in a safe place do not scare the dog..
-- If the dog is harmed, notify the police and then come any way you can, (but don't rush). Be aware of additional things you should be aware of..
-- Assess the situation yourself and call for help if possible. Keep in mind that not everyone leaves their dog outside..
-- If you know that the dog is going to be rabid, you should still try to rescue it. If you are his owner, the usual approach is to involve your family and friends..
