How to Avoid Getting Bitten by a Dog




hi i guess it's really been that long since i last updated..well to make it up, i'll put in 2 entries at once,hehe

the 1st entry would be about "how to avoid getting bitten by a dog"..so here it is:

How to Avoid Getting Bitten by a Dog

+ the 1st thing to remember- their bark IS worse than their bite.(they are like some humans sometimes..all talk)
they are as scared of you as you are to them.we are humans and they know that..unless they are rabid of course..hehe
+ do not run..if possible do not show fear,although they can sense it (trust me,the moment u run chances are their animal instincts will be stimulated and this will make them run after you)
+ hold something,anything..a bag at first.a stone would do, a stick might do the trick(try pointing it at them if they are near)..but try not to actually hit them or agitate them
+ if u cant do anything else,just stand there..they might sniff u out..but that's it..of course it might be an inconvenience if u have to 'samak' especially if they lick u..maybe they actually like u..hehe
+ climb up a tree..well..this might be hard for some..only useful if there's something u can climb,and the dog is really agitated(usually due to somethingu've done,hehe)
+ get a bodyguard or a pistol..but not good advice if u're not rich and dont have a weapons' licence,hehe

these are based solely on my experience (my neighborhood used to have lots of stray and domestic dogs)..so they are only suggestions and my opinions..if u have objections or anything to add..be my guest

I would never ever think that an alsatian or a rotweiler is ever afraid of us and if you think that their bark is worse than their bite, wait till you get mauled by them! :p

dith- :) maybe..call me optimistic but i still think they do fear us..but we can only guess what others feel/think..take it as an opinion.maybe thinking that way would be better for the situation..hehe..i wouldnt want to be mauled either..i agree if u're bitten it would be worse than their barking..hehe

neemo: haha let's hope not..arent u experienced in these things already..having experienced it the 3rd time and all..hehe.it just sounded interesting so i made the entry..
