How do I avoid dog bites?

Basic precautions and rules of interaction can help prevent dog bites. Both children and adults should be educated to know the basics of dog bite avoidance. First of all, do not approach unfamiliar dogs. Do not run from a dog and scream. It is recommended to avoid direct eye contact with unfamiliar canines and do not disturb sleeping, eating, or nursing dogs. If knocked over or attacked by a dog, remain as motionless as possible and curl into a ball. Also, do not pet a dog without allowing it to sniff first. If you have been bitten by a dog, immediately clean the wound and report it to the owner of the dog. If you have been attacked, legal retribution may be a viable option to recover medical expenses and pain and suffering.
