The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) reports that Susan Dubitsky and her husband were waiting outside the airport terminal for a family member to arrive around 4:15 p.m. on May 2 when an Atlanta police officer walked by them with one of the DHS-owned dogs. According to Dubitsky, the dog lunged at her out of nowhere, biting her in the stomach and piercing her skin.

Auburn University bites back with tips for dog bite prevention week

And James Wright, professor of veterinary medicine at Auburn, said education and awareness are the key to preventing dog bites.

In particular, Wright says people should be mindful of their body language when approaching a dog, especially one they do not know. Actions that can incite fear in a dog and possibly lead to a bite, he said, include running from a dog, screaming or making frantic gestures, making direct eye contact, directly facing or standing over a dog, or reaching out to make contact with a dog.
