In recent years, a phenomenon has been gaining momentum: first-time dog ownership. Nationwide, 11% of dog owners have bought their furry friends in the past 12 months. Pet ownership comes with various obligations. First-time pet owners may not have accurately anticipated the challenges of owning a dog. Dog owners have a responsibility to ensure their pets do not pose risks to others. These animals can act dangerously, especially if they feel provoked or threatened by strangers. Unsocialized dogs have a history of attacking perceived strangers. A dog might attack someone by biting, seizing, mauling, or in another way, which can result in severe injuries such as disfigurement or even fatal injuries. Infants and young children are most at risk if attacked by an unruly dog and can die. Over the past few years, 85% of dog attack victims were below the age of 10. Many worry that new dog ownership could lead to a rise in bite injuries. Children's hospital statistics show a 300% rise in ER visits due to dog attacks. After a dog attack, children can suffer intense psychological impact. The physical and emotional scars left by these incidents may impact a child's life forever.
