Matter How Nice the Canine Seems . . . Be Wary
L.A. has a lot of loose, fenced and dangerous dogs. The statistics show that children are at greater risk for a dog attack than adults. No matter what, a Los Angeles dog bite attack can happen at any time when your in the presence of a canine. And sadly, no matter how friendly these canines may seem, they are an animal descended from wolves. Most of all, what they are thinking is not always possible to be read or understood in many cases.
For example, if the dog has a bone, food, a toy or puppies, they can become vicious instantly if they feel threatened. You may not be attempting to do any more than pet the canine and they in turn may feel you are trying to take what they have or touch their puppies. Dog bite attacks can happen at any time when visiting friends in Sunset Beach, or while walking along dog beach on Goldenwest Street, HB for example. Virtually anywhere dogs are at play, dogs can can also be a danger.
Vicious Attacks Can Come Out of the Blue
These are situations that can turn very bad, very quickly. And for sure the human will always end up the loser. After all, this is because there is little defense against a dog when it becomes angry. Dog assaults can happen at any time. And when they do there are some things that you might do to avoid being bitten.
For example, if you have something to provide some form of protection you could mitigate the risks of injury.
Self protection ideas include using a:
- Purse,
- Backpack,
- Jacket.
Most of all, self defense accoutrements can include anything in your hand that can create space between you and the rabid canine. The idea here is that you can release the attachment and the dog might then take that to let its aggression out on, rather than your flesh. If not, these horrific attacks can end with:
- Puncture wounds,
- Lacerations,
- Broken bones and even head and skull damage.
