Dog Bites and Child Injuries in Hallandale Beach or Your CommunityEven a small dog can cause a lot of damage, especially when the victims are children. Unfortunately, in many cases victims of dog attacks do tend to be children, as children are often curious and will approach strange animals. Children may not understand when a dog is exhibiting signs of aggression and may not know how to safely retreat in these situations. Parents can help by instructing their children not to approach a strange dog or animal and by teaching them how to act around friendly dogs.
However, even if parents closely supervise their children and take every precaution a dog attack and child injuries in Hallandale Beach can still occur. It can be especially galling when dog owners who have pets with a history of aggression allow their dogs to run loose or do not properly secure their pets, allowing dog attacks to occur.
