“…These gender differences could be explained by cultural differences in people´s behaviour towards and exposure to dogs (Mathews & Lattal, 1994 ; Overall & Love, 2001 ; Rosado et al., 2009 ). In Uruguay there are no studies on the human–dog bond but, in other countries, it has been observed that females have more interaction and emotional closeness, and a greater attachment and propensity to be hoarders of dogs than males (Fatjó et al., 2013 ; Patronek & Nathanson, 2009 ). Given that the interaction between humans and dogs depends on cultural and demographic factors, future studies are necessary to investigate the social context in which such aggressive events occur in Latin American countries.…”

BackgroundDog bites to people are a serious public health problem. Limited information exists at the country level in Latin America. The COVID‐19 pandemic changed people's lifestyles and their relationship with pets, and this could potentially affect the incidence of dog bites injuries.ObjectiveThe main objectives of our study were to determine the prevalence of dog‐bite injuries in Uruguay from 2010 to 2020 and to compare the prevalence in 2020 to that of pre‐pandemic years.MethodsCross‐sectional study. Dog‐bite notifications for the 2010 and 2020 period were analysed using data from the Uruguayan Ministry of Public Health.ResultsThe annual dog‐bite injury rate for the 2010–2020 period was 87.51 per 100,000 people. The frequency of bites varied with the victims’ sex, with males accounting for 51.8% of the bites (p < 0.0001), and with age, with a higher frequency of bites in the ≤14 years old age group (p < 0.01). The frequency of dog bites was also higher in spring and summer than in autumn (p < 0.0001). There was no statistical difference in the frequency of dog‐bite injuries when comparing 2020 with the pre‐COVID‐19 pandemic years.ConclusionsIn Uruguay, the frequency of dog‐bite injuries varied with season and with the age and sex of the victim. In the first year of the COVID‐19 pandemic, the number of people bitten by dogs was no different than that of previous years. This is the first study in Latin America to report national rather than regional data and to include all age groups.

“…Por otro lado, estos datos se contraponen a los encontrados por Fatjó et al (2013) quienes sí habían hallado diferencias en esta dimensión. Este estudio se realizó en España, consideró solo 68 participantes, y utilizó un método particular para seleccionar parejas heterosexuales.…”

“…En este estudio, las mujeres expresaron mayor cercanía emocional hacia el perro que los hombres, y mayores niveles de antropomorfismo del perro. Esto coincidió con los resultados de otros estudios (e.g., Cohen, 2002;Fatjó et al, 2013;Reid & Anderson, 2009).…”

Las mujeres parecen presentar más respuestas de afecto positivo hacia los animales. Sin embargo, hombres y mujeres refieren tener un vínculo intenso con sus mascotas. Los estudios sobre el tema han recibido diversos cuestionamientos. Considerando esto, se realizó un estudio descriptivo que comparó hombres y mujeres adultos custodios de perros (n=425) en tres grupos etarios (i.e., jóvenes, mediana edad y mayores), en seis dimensiones relacionales (i.e., interacción, cercanía emocional, costos, antropomorfismo, voluntad de adaptación y beneficios). Las mujeres mostraron mayores puntajes de cercanía emocional y antropomorfismo. Además, solo los hombres jóvenes mostraron mayor percepción de costos que las mujeres jóvenes. No se observaron diferencias en las demás dimensiones de acuerdo con el sexo del custodio. Se discute la significancia de los resultados considerando algunos aspectos sociocognitivos potencialmente implicados.

“…It is worldwide spread disease, almost one billion people affected by it and 9.4 million death occur every year by it. Dog is considered as both domestic as well as wild animal [2][3][4]. It belongs to the family of Mammilia and many researches prove that dog evolves from Wolves.…”
