Dog Bite Avoidance
A Free Program for Kids!
A survey by the national Centers for Disease Control concluded that dogs bite more than 4.7 million people annually. Almost 800,000 bites per year -- one out of every 6 -- are serious enough to require medical attention. Dog bites send over 1000 people to the hospital emergency room each day!
CHILDREN UNDER 15 YEARS OLD MAKE UP 70% OF DOG BITE VICTIMS!
