“Of the 500,000 dog bites that send people to the ER annually, 42% are children”
Dr. Matheson Harris appeared on KSL TV’s Studio 5 to discuss dog bite injuries in children. Every year over 4 million people are bitten by dogs, with half a million needing attention at a hospital. Of the 500,000 dog bites that send people to the ER annually, 42% are children. These bites can lead to life threatening injuries and severe facial scarring. Certain breeds are more likely to become aggressive. Pit bulls, and other breeds originally bred for fighting, tend to cause the worst injuries. Common breeds, such as labrador retrievers, actually cause more dog bites just due to their sheer numbers among our population. Watch the video clip below for more information.
