Description
Dog bites are a significant concern for many people and professions. However, scientific research on the subject is often scattered and sparse. This comprehensive resource brings together expert knowledge from various disciplines to provide information on dog bites and aggression directed at humans. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the genetic basis of aggression, public perceptions of aggressive dogs, bite statistics, risk factors, forensics and surgical aspects of dog bites, international legal perspectives, court evidence, first aid treatment, zoonotic disease potential, behavioural rehabilitation options, and why some dogs kill. The contributors are all academic or long-standing professional experts in their field, representing a wide spread of international expertise. This book is an important resource for pet owners, vets, animal shelters, and anyone who works with dogs, as well as for animal behaviourists, academic researchers, health professionals, dog breeders, and handlers. It aims to provide valuable information to help prevent dog bites and promote a better understanding of this complex issue.
