Another Another Florida dog attack should remind us of the rules when dealing with dogs. Last week a 6-year-old Deltona boy was bitten on the face by his family’s dog.
An ambulance company spokesman says the boy was airlifted to a Daytona Beach hospital after Thursday’s attack. The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office reports that the family’s Rottweiler attacked the boy after he either fell or jumped on the dog.
Authorities say the boy’s injuries were not life threatening.
Animal control officers were called to the home.
Children should be taught to never go up to or pet a strange dog. All dogs should never be bothered while they are sleeping, eating or nursing. If a strange dog does approach the best response is to stay still. Dogs have a natural instinct to chase things. If your child is involved in a Jacksonville dog bite or anywhere in Florida you should call an experienced Florida dog bite lawyer.
