• Male dogs are more prone to dog bites than female dogs.
• Female dogs in heat are more prone to dog bites than dogs that aren't in heat.
• Dogs that are chained up or mistreated are also prone to dog bites.
• All dogs can bite, but certain breeds like pit bulls and rottweilers are more prone to bite than others.
• Do not approach unfamiliar dogs.
