It’s easy to forget that breed-specific legislation is integrally linked to dog bite prevention. So often, breed discrimination stems from an isolated bite incident. That’s why it’s so important to spread awareness about dog bites, and help those who are less dog savvy understand how to prevent dog bites.
This week is Dog Bite Prevention Week, and the AVMA put out this infographic that I thought was interesting. Does anything on here surprise you?
