When Dogs Attack: What To Do When Attacked By A Dog

You may have heard the news about a 63 year-old woman who was mauled to death by four dogs in Palmdale, California, when she was jogging.

You’ve probably been here before: You’re leading your dog around the neighborhood on a typical pack walk when suddenly there’s a siren far off in the distance. You barely notice it, but your dog’s ears immediately perk up.

Have you ever found something bizarre in your dog’s droppings or had to rush to the veterinarian because he ingested something that he shouldn’t have? Even the best-trained dogs have had days where they decided to munch on something outrageous. This is such a common problem that there have been entire shows, such as Nat Geo Wild’s “My Dog Ate What!?!”, dedicated to sharing the stories of what dog owners have discovered that their pets swallowed.
