When you send your child to spend time at a babysitters home, you must make sure your child is safe from any dogs owned by the babysitter. There are around 4 1/2 million dog bites reported each year. Almost one in every five dog bites requires medical attention, that’s around 885,000 dog bites per year.
With the incident number of dog bites on the rise, we have seen a variety of tactics and strategies proposed and sometimes implemented to curb this growing issue. Some municipalities and organizations go as far as banning breeds of dogs, like the Marines who have an executive order restricting Pit Bulls, Rottweilers and wolf-hybrid breeds and mixes, due to aggressive behavior and the tendency of dog bites from these animals.
