Dog Bite Prevention for Kids

    Dogs are wonderful creatures.  Dogs make us smile and laugh.  
    Dogs comfort us when we are sad or lonely.  

    Do you know that any dog can bite?  Dogs bite for many reasons
    such as fear, pain, or when guarding their place, toys or food.  The fact is
    that any dog can bite.  Even your dog or your friend's dog may bite you or
    someone else if the dog thinks it has a reason to bite.  You can learn to be
    safe around dogs.  Below are some links you can visit to  learn more
    about dogs and how to be safe around them.
