A dog's bark may
be worse than its bite, but then again, a bite can also be bad. Being
attacked by a dog can be a terrifying experience. It can leave a victim
with serious, even life-threatening injuries. Every year in the United
States, about 1 in 775 people seek emergency care for dog bites. Most
victims are boys between the ages of 5 and 9. In children younger than
10, bites are usually around the head and neck because the child's head and
neck is near the large dog's mouth.
