Dog bite leads to legal tangle over yellow Lab

Most of the dog-bite reports say the handlers believed themselves or the public to be at risk. But none of the bite victims in the reports I read turned out to have a gun and, in many cases, more than one officer was present when the bite occurred.

In one case, the bite victim was someone walking on the sidewalk, minding his own business, when Lynch pulled alongside in his cruiser to confront him.

Stray dogs cause rabies a fatal disease which can be transmitted to humans. India has the highest number of human rabies deaths in the world (estimated at 35,000 per annum), noted the information provided by WSD. The Animal Birth Control (Dog) Rules notified in December 2001 under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, however, prohibit the killing of stray dogs except in special cases when they are terminally ill or rabid.

Ohio ranked fourth on that list with 235 claims worth $5 million. Locally, health officials say incidents of dog bites aren't uncommon, and that dog and animal bites are preventable.

The child was playing in the yard, when her mother saw the mixed breed, brown and white dog came into the yard, according to Bluefield Police Chief D.M. Dillow. The mother made a loud noise and tried to chase the dog away, Dillow said. The little girl grabbed the dog by the tail, and the dog turned around and bit her in the face.
