Man Bites Dog, Dog Bites Man

If you ever have a chance to search on general news stories about dogs, most of the articles will be one of two topics: "man bites dog" or "dog bites man". It makes us very sad. Of course there are some uplifting and funny stories, but just like local New York news, it's mostly depressing stuff. During the third full week in May, the American Veterninay Medical Association (AVMA), the United States Postal Service (USPS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have joined up to educate the public about dog bite prevention. According to the CDC, about 800,000 Americans seek medical attention for dog bites each year, half of these being children. Dog bites can be preventable with proper care and training. Man bites dog...those problems are way harder to solve.
