A study on fatal dog bites lists the breeds(品种)involved in fatal attacks over 20 years.It does not find specific breeds that are most likely to bite or kill.Each year, 4.7 million Americans are bitten by dogs.These bites result in about 12 deaths every year:about 0.0002 percent of the total number of people bitten.These few deaths offer little information about breeds involved in dogs of a particular breed, and no way to determine which breeds are more likely to bite or kill.
Many practical alternatives hold promise for preventing dog bites.For prevention ideas and model policies for the control of dangerous dogs, please see the American Veterinary Medical Association Task Force on Canine Aggression and Human – Canine Interaction:a community approach to dog bite prevention.
