A new furry friend for Valentine’s Day
A new furry friend for Valentine’s Day
What could be cuter than a new puppy for your valentine? A new loyal companion can give you love in your life for many happy years.
But the reality is that sometimes, whether greeting a doorbell or racing around a park, dog behavior can go wrong. And although any dog can become dangerous under certain circumstances, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has researched more than 20 years of reported dog bite-related fatalities and found that certain breeds are statistically more likely to be involved. Here are the top five:
- Pit bull-type
- Rottweiler
- German shepherd
- Husky-type
- Malamute
Regardless of breed, dogs are the leading source of claims under homeowners liability coverage. With proper care and training, any dog’s chances of hurting someone go down significantly.
