DOG AND PREVENTING DOG BITES.

Like many kinds of pets, no matter how small or cute they are, dogs need to be respected as animals that, under certain conditions, could hurt you. You can respect a dog by giving it space and following certain rules. These rules not only keep the dog happier, they can protect you from getting bitten.
Millions of dog bites happen every year in the United States and Nigeria off course. Of those, close to a million require medical treatment, like a trip to the doctor. No one wants a dog bite, but how do you prevent one?

Use Your Dog Manners
When we say to use your "dog manners," we don't mean you should eat off the floor or pee in the yard! We mean you should follow certain rules when you meet or spend time with dogs — especially ones you don't know.
If you meet someone new, maybe your mom or dad showed you how to shake hands and say, "Nice to meet you." Well, you can also have some equally good dog manners. That means taking certain steps every time you meet a dog or spend time with one. Dogs will love that you're so polite and, best of all, they will be less likely to bite you!
