The dogs that most often bite people are not strays or wild dogs, but rather pets well known to the victim and owned by the family (15%) or neighbors (75%). Many injuries could be avoided by proper parental education of children regarding their behavior in the presence of animals. When impartially investigated, most instances of animal bites turn out to be the fault of the child, not the animal. (Photo contributor: Michael Lucchesi, MD.) Source: Chapter 18.
