Each year in the United States there are about 1 million dog bites. Children suffer between 60 and 70% of these bites.
In 2007, three researchers attempted to find out why so many children are bit.
The top three reasons?
- Guarding items like food, toys and territory.
- In response to discipline.
- Medical problems.
I wrote more about this over at my blog on Dog Star Daily.
