Nearly 4.7 million people are bitten by dogs each year and 50% of dog bite fatalities are children under 10 years old. These dog bites range from minor injuries to serious dog maulings, resulting in bodily injury and even death.
In the United States alone, approximately 100 children are bitten by dogs every day and approximately 92 of these children will need medical attention. Statistically 15 to 20 people are killed in vicious fatal dog attacks every year. One third of all injury claims against homeowner liability policies are related to dog bites and dog attacks.
Dog bites are very common, for both adults and children. They can have serious consequences, including permanent disfigurement, nerve and tissue damage and psychological trauma. In extreme cases, they may result in death. Of course, it is not possible to know in advance whether a dog will attack -- even the nicest, gentlest dogs have been known to bite.
Seattle Animal Control sees about 300 dog bites each year. 22% of those involve Pit Bulls.
