Dog bites take physical, emotional toll on victims
Avoid dog bites: • Get sniffed. Always let a dog see and sniff you before petting, says the USPS • Consult a trainer. You're liable for your dog's behavior, says Worters. "The most dangerous dogs are dogs that fall victim to human shortcomings such as poor training and irresponsible ownership." • Avoid angry dogs. When dogs are angry, they stand forward on their haunches, with ears forward, face tense, teeth showing, hair bristling, and tail stiff and twitching, says Kathy Voigt, founder of nonprofit Prevent the Bite.

"She kept backing up into my wife and would not let her pass. My wife looked over Shakira's shoulder and spotted this snake right on the trail exactly where she was planning her next foot strike." The behavior of both the dog and the hikers kept the snake from taking a defensive, strike position, he recounted. "Shakira did not bark or growl," Forsyth said. "She kept the snake from coiling and going on the offensive. By stopping my wife in her tracks, she prevented her from the danger. " In turn, Forsyth said he pulled Shakira back, inspected the snake and took a photo. "I saw the rattles on the end of the tail." He then tossed a few small rocks at the tail and the snake slithered off into the grass, "rattling as it left." The Matt Davis Trail (and adjoining Coastal Trail) is routed from Mountain Home to Stinson Beach, with a great trailhead en route at Pantoll. About a quarter mile east from Pantoll, amid an oak forest, is an area commons for lizards and snakes, including the rattler. Forsyth said he and his wife never saw the snake until Shakira kept them from stepping on it.

The dog had not been on a leash, did not have a collar and the owner was charged with possession of a dangerous animal. She pleaded guilty and has been fined $500, though it's unclear whether she's paid the fine. The owner could not be reached for comment. Bender, the education specialist for Animal Care & Control, said coming forward when a bite happens, even if you own the dog or animal, is the right thing to do. Medical officials in Fort Wayne report all bites treated at their hospitals to Animal Care & Control, as well, to ensure that they do actually get reported. It takes the pressure off of bite victims who may be afraid to report bites from a neighbor's dog or even their own dog. "What a lot of people are frightened of is if a dog bite happens, and it's reported to us, there's this misconception the dog will be taken away or even destroyed," Bender said.

Dog Bites Spokane Police Officer; Owner Tased After Attacking Officer
Polsky's advice about the dog attack in California lent support to the theory that the dog's owners should have anticipated a possible attack upon the plaintiff. Under dog bite law in California , there is no "One Bite" exclusion; owners must be in control of their animals at all times. However, the fact that a dog has allegedly bitten or attacked in the past can be used to support a claim of negligence on the part of the owner if the dog bites again. Given the evidence and Dr. Polsky's advice in this dog bite in California case, the defendants chose to settle the case for their insurance policy limits of $500,000 rather than go to trial.
