You may be curious what you should do in the event of a dog attack—should you fight back, or play dead? However, perhaps a more important subject is how to prevent a dog attack in the first place. Oftentimes, dog bites can be avoided if you know what to do when you see a dangerous or aggressive animal. Many dog attacks can be avoided if citizens take proper action when they see an aggressive dog.
What should you do if you are approached by a dog which is showing signs of aggression?
Stay calm.
What shouldn’t you do when you see an aggressive and potentially dangerous dog?
In California, a dog owner can be liable for a dog attack even if his or her pet does not have a history of aggressive behavior. However, it may be helpful to your case if the dog has a history of brushes with the law and reported incidents.
