More and more people are being attacked by dogs. And many have lost their lives.

So far, about seven people (possibly more). Have been killed by dog attacks. For years the average was stable, at about three deaths a year, but something has changed recently. During the Covid pandemic, dog ownership rose sharply as people took on pets as companions.  This means that the dog market rose and there was a higher interaction between dogs and people.  Similarly, lethal attacks also rose in the UK.  From four to seven per year, and as the attack numbers continue to rise, so will the fatalities.

Some countries have had to combat this problem for decades because of lax dog laws or poor enforcement of laws.  Dogs are dumped constantly and they breed in the wild.  Strays roam the streets and in some cities people dare not walk down them for fear of being attacked.  Without a solution in sight we are all in imminent danger of being attacked by not one, but possibly tens of dogs as they often travel in packs.

I myself was bitten by my own male Corgi puppy two years ago

He was fighting with his half sister that a roommate owns

You were lucky to escape with your life.

Part of the reported dog attacks are domestic. E.g. dogs attacking owners, neighbors or workers etc.

Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today…..

Then it is over 1,000 years old in dog years.

It practically raised you as one of its own.
