Dogs are supposed to be man’s best friend, right? Then why are so many of them biting the hand that feeds them, along with biting neighborhood children, other dogs, and even other animals? Part of the problem is how any individual dog is raised. If trained to be aggressive and attack, that is what the dog will do. But training can also result in a kind, gentle dog that may never bite in anger even though its breed is labeled as aggressive. Still, there are breeds that show up often on the list of overly aggressive dogs and these are ones to be careful of: • Rottweilers • Pit Bull Terriers • German Shepherds • Great Danes • Boxers Several other breeds are known to be very protective of their owners and not very accepting of strangers: • Dachshunds • Pekinese • Chihuahuas • Chow Chow • Cocker Spaniel These are just a few of the more breeds of dog shown to have aggressive tendencies. When these dogs do attack people, their victims can sustain injuries ranging from a bite that requires a couple of stitches to major plastic surgery. Dog attacks don’t just affect the victims’ physical state; these attacks can alter the victims’ emotional state. If the dogs’ victim is a child, those physical and emotional scars can last a lifetime. If you own any breed of dog, please be sure you take every precaution to keep those around your dog safe. Keep your dog on a leash, even at the dog park, so you can maintain control of your pet. Be sure that your dog is treated with care and love by all family members. If you’ve been the victim of a dog bite or dog attack, after seeking medical care, you should contact an attorney who is experienced in handling these types of claims. Depending on the severity of your wounds, it can take a long time to recover from a serious dog bite. You don’t want to settle for less than you need or deserve.
