Encountering stray or aggressive dogs on the street causes concern for many people.
According to Milli.Az, knowing the correct behavioral rules in such situations plays an important role in preventing danger.
According to experts, it is not correct to panic or try to run away when faced with an aggressive dog. A person who runs away may be pursued by the dog. For this reason, it is recommended to remain calm and avoid sudden movements.
Specialists also advise not to look directly into the dog's eyes. The animal may perceive this as a threat. The best method is to calmly retreat and create a safe distance as much as possible.
If the dog approaches, waving hands or shouting can make the situation more tense. In such cases, a bag, jacket, or any object can be used as a means of defense by placing it between the body and the dog.
Experts recommend that children should not approach stray animals, avoid provoking them, and be careful when feeding them.
In case of an attack, it is important to immediately move to a safe place and seek medical help. Doctors note that the wound caused by a dog bite should be washed with plenty of water and soap, and then medical facilities must be consulted.
According to specialists, following the correct behavioral rules can significantly reduce the risks associated with street dogs.
