As you’re out and about this summer, you’ll likely see more dogs and their owners out as well.  

In order to minimize the chance of being on the receiving end of a dog bite, you should be aware of why a dog might bite in the first place. 

If a threatening dog is approaching you and you’re afraid of being bitten, you should “Be a Tree.”  

The “Be a Tree” method was developed to be easy to teach to children, but is useful for everyone.  

Research shows that over half-a-million dog bites occur in Canada every year.
