The Proven Way to Survive a Dog Attack

Описание: How to protect yourself from dog attacks? Every day we run the risk of encountering stray dogs while out walking or running. We don't usually expect any threat from an adorable creature that’s been rightfully dubbed our “best friend.” But some of these dogs can sometimes display unpredictable behavior and be extremely aggressive and unfriendly. Dogs are animals and they have animal instincts. Even the friendliest-looking pooch can attack you if something goes wrong!

We at Bright Side have collected the recommendations of experts and cynologists on how to keep yourself safe and to prevent dog bites. If you want to find out what exactly you should do when you come across an aggressive dog, or, even worse, you’re attacked, watch our new video!

SUMMARY:
Do not try to calm the dog down or smile at it. Animals perceive a smile differently than you do. While a smile means friendly intentions to a human, a dog will think that you're baring your teeth to challenge it.
Avoid direct eye contact and sudden movements. The best strategy will be to ignore the dog.
Do not swing a stick at the dog or use pepper spray. First of all, the wind can spoil your plans and blow the spray right into your own eyes. Besides, these actions probably won't scare the dog away.
Retreat slowly and carefully. Remember the main rule of getting away from an aggressive dog: do not turn your back to the animal.
Stray dogs usually attack if they're hungry or if they're protecting their puppies or territory.
Do not shout at the dog, even if you can’t think of anything else to do. The dog will perceive shouting as a sign of aggression, and this will only make the animal angrier.

If you haven't managed to distract the dog and it's still after you, cover your neck with your hands. The neck is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body.
Use your weight to press the dog to the ground with your knees or elbows. Dogs can bite, bark, and snarl, but they can't wrestle.
If a dog has bitten you, carefully rinse the wound with soap and water. After that, swab it with alcohol to avoid infection.
Despite what most people think, it doesn't matter whether you've been bitten by a stray dog or a domesticated one. Either way, you’ll still have to go to the hospital for necessary testing and treatment.
According to statistics, dogs are responsible for 99% of rabies infections in people. The first symptoms of the disease appear 30 to 50 days after being infected.
