“The bite came out of the blue.”
In reality, bites never come out of nowhere. Dogs are constantly communicating through body language—but many of their signals are subtle and often misunderstood or missed altogether. When these signs are ignored, dogs may escalate to louder warnings like growling, barking, and eventually, biting.
77% of dog bites come from a dog the victim knows—often a friend’s or family member’s pet. Understanding canine body language is one of the most effective ways to prevent bites and build safer relationships. You can help “Stop the 77“.
