Stats on fatal dog attacks show that almost 2/3rds in the US are accounted for by pit bulls, Rotties, Presa Canarios, and their mixes. German Shepherds, Huskies, Akitas, Dobies, and Malamutes also account for a disproportionate share. If you are around one of these dogs, use the WAIT acronym to stay safe. Wait for the dog to approach. Ask the owners permission to pet it. Invite the dog to approach by speaking in soft tones with hands loosely at your sides. Touch on the back or chest. Avoid the head, face, and tail. Stop and walk away if a dog is not with its owner on leash, or if the dog shows any reluctance. You cant convince a dog to trust you. About half of fatal dog bite victims are children. They must be taught how to be safe with dogs. Never leave a child and dog unattended. Please pardon me if I am aloof with you if you show up with one of those top contenders.
