When a dog has a firm bite on you, how do you break free as fast as possible? Many people don't know

A few days ago, many people saw a video like this:

A little boy who looked about three years old was being bitten and held tightly by two large dogs. The boy's grandmother cried and tried to stop them, but it did not work. The child was bitten on the legs by the two dogs and dragged along the ground. The scene was heartbreaking.

Afterward, the child was taken to the hospital. The injury to his right leg was very serious, and the wound was shocking...

After watching this video, everyone was asking, where was the dog owner? Why didn't the person filming the video help?

Let's set that question aside for now. A more important matter is: in an emergency, how do you quickly and effectively stop a dog from continuing to bite!

At this point, are you also a little unsure what to do?

First, when it comes to dog bites, we need to understand the following points:

1. No breed of dog is absolutely safe.

American researchers analyzed 537 cases of children bitten by dogs and found that in bite incidents, mixed-breed dogs accounted for 20%, Labradors accounted for 10%, Rottweilers and German Shepherd Dogs together accounted for 10%, and Golden Retrievers accounted for only 3%. Although gentle dog breeds injure children less often, they will also attack children.

Dogs bite when they feel threatened, but don't forget that dogs may also bite when they are happy!

2. Why do dogs love to bite children?

Children are smaller in build and pose little deterrent to dogs, and staring into a dog's eyes makes the dog feel threatened. Children and dogs are also about the same height, and this eye-level stare especially makes a dog feel threatened.

Dogs are more likely to attack children in the following situations: when a dog feels that a child (especially under 6 years old) may take away its food or toy, it is more likely to attack; when a dog feels that its territory is being invaded by a child, it may attack.

If a dog encounters a noisy, screaming infant or young child, it can easily become agitated and attack.

3. Dogs most often bite children's faces and necks.

Children are short, so they are easily bitten by dogs on the head, neck, and other sensitive areas with many nerves. Therefore, many children bitten by dogs are injured on the face, which is horrifying to see. Children also weigh less, and once the rabies virus enters the blood from the wound, the virus concentration is relatively high, making the danger level very high.

4. When the dog owner is not present, the dog is most dangerous.

Dog bite incidents often happen when the dog owner is not present. Walking a dog without a leash, as well as stray dogs, are the most likely to lead to biting incidents.

In this article today, I will tell everyone how to quickly defuse the crisis of a dog biting a person!

1. First use clothing to cover the dog's head and block the dog's eyes.

2. Use whatever is conveniently within reach, a belt, a strip of cloth, a water hose, a rope... anything will do. Tightly strangle the dog's neck and lift upward so that the dog's front feet leave the ground. The dog cannot breathe and will naturally loosen its grip.

3. Once the dog's eyes are covered, even if it lets go, it cannot turn back and bite you.

4. If the dog is wearing a collar, you can directly lift the collar, which can also temporarily make it hard for the dog to breathe.

5. Remember, never hit the dog. The more you hit a dog that is biting, the fiercer it becomes, and the less likely it is to let go!

Experts remind that it is currently the spring mating season for dogs, and cats and dogs are relatively irritable and aggressive. When they encounter weak or strong external stimuli, their temperament may suddenly change and they may attack people, including normally gentle pets kept at home. For now, it is better to provoke cats and dogs less, and even with your own pets, do not get too close, to prevent being bitten.

Seeing this, some owners may say that sometimes when a dog bites a person, it is not always the dog's fault. Some mischievous children like to provoke dogs, and that is why they get bitten.

That is true. Many children bitten by strange dogs are bitten because of their own inappropriate behavior.

So as parents, you should know how to teach children this:

1. When you encounter a dog you want to pet, you must first ask the dog owner. Do not directly reach out to touch the dog.

2. Never approach a dog from directly in front, and do not suddenly reach out to touch the top of the dog's head.

3. The correct way is to first squat down beside the dog and let the dog approach you on its own initiative.

4. When you encounter a dog with no one watching it, do not stare directly into its eyes. When a dog approaches and barks, never run away, and even more, do not run away while screaming.

5. If you have something in your hand, you can throw it in the dog's direction to divert the dog's attention.

6. When you notice a dog approaching, you can face the dog and stop walking. Because you stop, the dog will keep a certain distance from you.

7. You can even bend down and make the motion of picking up a stone. Most dogs will be afraid and will move farther away.

8. Remember, leave slowly. As long as you leave the dog's sphere of influence, there is no danger.

Every time I see a child bitten, it hurts my heart. Although sometimes it is the child's fault, they are still young, and the fault should not all be attributed to them, but rather to the parents and the dog owner.

This article simply hopes that when you encounter a situation where a dog has a firm bite on someone and will not let go, you can handle it calmly and quickly and minimize the harm.
