Dogs and Children
Most dogs are They are relatively kind-hearted and generally do not take the initiative to attack others. Some dogs are also particularly fond of children. However, there are differences. Some dogs seem to have a natural dislike for children, and dogs bite children from time to time. It turns out that many dogs like to attack children for a certain reason, and they do not attack blindly without any reason.
Some studies have shown that defending territory or materials (which may be food, puppies, toys, etc.) is the most common reason for dogs to attack children. They started from 103 A survey among dogs revealed that 1/5 of the dogs had never bitten a human before, and 2/3 of the dogs had never bitten a child before. It seems that most dogs only attack children under specific circumstances. Researchers found that dogs are more likely to attack children in the following situations: dogs are more likely to attack when they feel that children (especially those under 6 years old) may take away their food or toys; dogs feel that their territory is being invaded by children Dogs are more likely to attack; dogs are more likely to attack familiar children who suddenly arrive when they are protecting their own food; dogs are more likely to attack unfamiliar children because they are protecting their territory.
In addition, some dogs are restless and irritable, which may be related to their experience of being abandoned or exposed to arguments. If these dogs encounter arguing or screaming babies or young children, they are prone to attack out of impatience. In addition, most dogs also suffer from bone and skin problems, and half of the dogs also suffer from eye disease, liver, kidney and other psychological diseases. These diseases will become more severe as the dog grows, causing more and more severe pain, and the pain will also lead to its irritable mood. If a child screams at this time, it may cause the dog to become more disgusted. , and then attack them.
So in general, dogs are not likely to actively attack children, unless they feel that children will threaten them or rob them of their belongings It will take time for an attack to occur, but before deciding on a dog's character, it is still not easy to let children get close to it. Parents may try to explore the dog's character before deciding whether to stay or stay.
