In fact, owners of these pets find extreme enjoyment by domesticating these wild animals and placing them even in the confines of their own homes. However, if we will consider the disastrous effects of a dog bite incident, such as, sickness, physical injuries plus the trauma and even death, the perception that dogs are man's bestfriend will definitely be belied. Each and every year, the number of dog bite incidents continues to increase, with young and innocent children being the most common victims of these dog bite attacks. It is said that children of tender years are more prone to dog bite attacks because of their size and lack of self- defense.
