Don’t be Scared of The Dogs

Do you panic when a dog comes to you? Are you afraid that the dog may harm you? Don;t be scared!. Sometimes it is not entirely the dog’s mistake when it attacks people. The dog might be scared too and try to defend itself. To avoid dog attacks, read the points below :

1.       Keep Calm

If you meet a dog with no owner on the street, don’t scream and run

2.       Speak to the Dog

With your loud and firm voice, tell the dog to go home. If it doesn’t leave and is just looking at you with its tail wagging, walk away calmly. Again do not run!

3.       Don’t make any sudden move

The dog will think that you are going to do harm on it. This can make the dog attack you.

4.       Make your body down into a turtle position

Do this if the dog gets closer to you and seems to attack. This time, you can cry for help. Running away will make the dog chase you.

5.       Don’t bother the dog

Never approach dog when it is eating. It might think that you are going to take its food. And never try to get the puppies from their mother. The mother always protects its puppies.

6.       Go to the doctor immediately

If you get injured beacause of the dog attacks, ask your parents to take you to the hospital.
