Just last month a boy, aged 6, was suffered “life-altering” injuries after he was assaulted by an American Staffy terrier dog in Doncaster.

In March a woman aged 6 was whipped by a pack of dogs while out playing in Carrington, Greater Manchester. Locals threatened to burn down a caravan where the dogs lived after the street attack.

Last year 1,700 kids were dealt with in healthcare facility after being bitten by dogs.

Now a senior law enforcement officer has actually used guidance to moms and dads to lower the possibilities of their kid being assaulted by a dog in the street.

PC Mark Richardson, who is with the tactical dog system with Greater Manchester Police, prompted moms and dads to ensure their kids approached dogs in a “practical method.”

He said: “Dogs ought to be approached in a reasonable method. If you and your kid are walking past a dog, then being calm and not accentuating it or yourself, is the right method, as this likewise keeps the dog calm.”

PC Richardson encouraged versus making eye contact with dogs. He said: “Do not make eye contact with the dog, as this will get their attention and it will wish to come by to you and your kid.”

He explained that a fired up kid might trigger the dog to attack. He said: “Body language can have a huge effect on how a dog responds. So if your kid is thrilled to see a dog and runs over to stroke it, this can alarm the dog and it might not respond well.”

And he said that dogs frequently communicated their state of mind and character in their own body langauge.

He said: “Looking at the body movement of a dog is frequently an indication of how they are feeling. If their head and ears are low, this is an indication that they don’t wish to be approached or rubbed and it’s much better to leave them alone.”

PC Richardson alerted that it was not simply big animals that threatened.

He said: “It isn’t simply huge dogs you require to be familiar with. Small dogs can likewise trigger injury if you’re not familiar with what the dog is doing.

“For example, if they are having fun with a ball and your kid attempts to take the ball of them with the objective of having fun with them, the dog won’t always understand this and can respond to this adversely.”

He said that dogs that appeared adorable and friendly might assault. He included: “Even the loveliest looking dog has its limitations and has the possible to bite.

“Don’t put your kid in a position where these things can take place.
Be familiar with what the dog is doing and looking out to the possible threats is the very best method of keeping your kid safe around dogs.”
