According to the CDC, about four and a half million people are bitten by dogs each year. In 2006, more than 31,000 people underwent reconstructive surgery as a result of having bitten by a dog.

Dog bite related injuries are highest among children ages 5 to 9 years old and children given their smaller size, are more likely to receive medical attention than adults. A high percentage of child attacks by dogs are bitten on the face, head and neck and the most severe injuries, on average, occur in children under 10.

Children who have a dog in their home are more likely to suffer a dog bite injury and as the number of dogs in the home increases so does the incidents of dog bites. A resident with two or more dogs in their home is five times more likely to be bitten than those living without a dog.

Most states, with few exceptions, hold the owner or keeper of a dog or pet strictly liable for the injuries sustained by another as a result of the actions of the offending pet.
