Dogs that bite.

Abstract

For letters on scientific subjects we normally reserve our correspondence columns for those relating to issues discussed recently (within six weeks) in the BMJ. * We do not routinely acknowledge letters. Please send a stamped addressed envelope ifyou would like an acknowledgment. * Because we receive many more letters than we can publish we may shorten those we do print, particularly when we receive several on the same subject.

Most bites occur from dogs known by the victim, either the family pet or a neighborhood dog.…”
