Generally, an attack is due to a display of dominance (especially with children), defensiveness or fear, protection of owner or territory, predatory instincts or the results of long-term abuse. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;\"> </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;\">It’s always good to have information for preventing dog bites, especially if you have kids, as they are the ones most likely to be bitten. As a parent, consider teaching your children dog safety. This includes making sure that they understand that they should never hug a dog’s neck, or go near their food. They should never run up to a dog, and never pet one unless they have asked for the owner’s permission. Here are a few very good tips for both you and your children:</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;\"> </span></p>\r\n\r\n<ol style=\"margin-top: 0in;\" type=\"1\">\r\n	<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;\">If you see a dog, never run from it. Running can trigger the natural predatory instincts and cause the dog to chase after you and possibly attack. </span></li>\r\n	<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;\">Never scream or wave your arms.
