Wolfsie: 'Dog bites man' less fun when wife's involved
Her time in pediatrics exposed her to a lot of dog bite victims, but still didn't prepare her for the morning last year when her seven year old German Shepherd Ceasar viciously attacked. "Seven o'clock in the morning and it happened," she said. "The dog just attacked me. First he got my thumb." Eleonora suffered extensive wounds to her hands and torso. She lost the tip of her left thumb. After the dog was put down, it was determined he had a brain tumor that apparently altered his normally sweet disposition. "Nationally on an annual basis, it's probably about 800-thousand people actually get bitten by dogs," said Dr.

Cathy, who was by now the leading cat bite expert in Central Indiana, wanted to know why that procedure was necessary. "Because the cat is now missing two front teeth," I told her. By the way, I forgot to mention that two years ago Mary Ellen was at this very clinic after she tried to take a chicken bone away from our beagle. The gash from Toby's bite required three stitches in her hand. My wife has a way with animals.

How to enjoy a dog bite free summer
In the past year, the Moorhead department has declared three dogs as dangerous, which usually has its roots in the report of a dog bite. Anytime we feel that a dog is dangerous we have the ability to take that dog temporarily, said Vettel, citing a case of suspected rabies as an example. If the dog is deemed by the police to be fierce, dangerous or vicious, according to Fargo city ordinance, the owner is notified in writing and required to either surrender the animal for placement or destruction. The owner can appeal in municipal court, which can then order the dog confined or order the owner to surrender it for destruction. In the Levesque case, the victim, a 10-year-old girl, was walking home from Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton school May 16 in the 100 block of Fourth Street Northeast when the dog got away from Levesques daughter and bit the child, said Dilworth Police Chief Josh Ebert. The girl suffered a puncture wound, although Ebert could not recall whether the child received medical care for the bite. The daughter, who Ebert said has physical disabilities that made her incapable of handling the dog, was not charged. Levesque was not present at the time of the attack.

Reports routine, charges seldom in dog-bite cases in metro area
According to shelter spokesperson Peggy Bender, Young children often lack the skills to understand when an animal is uncomfortable or just wants to be left alone, so the key to safety is supervision and education. Children dont understand how quickly a dog being teased can jump a fence or break a chain to bite them. Animal Care & Control strongly advocates bite prevention to keep children safe by providing bite free materials to area classrooms, tour groups and at community events. Parents should review safety rules throughout the summer months when dog bites increase. By teaching children to respect the dogs they own and to never tease a dog through a fence, animal bites are reduced. BITE PREVENTION SAFETY RULES Be cautious around dogs you dont know. Treat your own pets with respect and gentle handling. NEVER leave a baby or small child alone with a dog.
