This tragedy highlights just how dangerous dogs can be.Dogs of all sizes and breeds, from the stray on the street to a beloved pet, can attack. As the weather warms and we take to the fresh air, bicycling, walking, gardening, our exposure to dogs and dog attacks increases. A dog attack can be frightening as well as extremely painful. You may be left with permanent scars and may require physical therapy and continued treatment or surgery to avoid disfigurement. The emotional trauma associated with an attack can stay with you for life.
If you or someone you love is attacked and injured by a dog, the dog owner may be responsible.
