Staying Safe Around Stray Dogs

Paws and Claws Canada - Mani Sulur’s Podcast

Stray dogs pose a significant threat to public safety due to potential bites from aggression born of fear, hunger, or lack of socialization. The text details how to avoid dog bites, emphasizing calm behaviour and avoiding direct eye contact. It also covers how to help a stray dog safely, suggesting contacting animal control rather than direct intervention, and what to do if bitten, including seeking immediate medical attention. Finally, it addresses the issue of stray dog welfare, advocating for community involvement in reducing the stray population and providing care. The text also clarifies some common misconceptions surrounding stray dog behaviour and loyalty.
