In reality, the rest of it was:
Every year, an estimated 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs in the United States
Dog bite incidents are not a small problem. In fact, an estimated 4.5 million people annually sustain a bite from a canine.¹
While some of these bites may be nothing more than minor nips, an estimated 800,000 people each year must seek medical attention after a bite.¹ Hospital bills can be very expensive, and an ER visit could necessitate a dog bite lawsuit in order to recover monetary compensation for damages.
The most common types of injury following a dog bite were punctures and injuries to the arms and hands.
Dogs tend to target certain body parts more than others, with a 2004 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealing that nearly half (45.3%) of all bite injuries occur on the arms or hands.
800k is alot, but it sounds alottt worse when you dont add that they were mainly 'nips'
And also, it says a bit further on that, uh, quite alot of people pet these animals without they're owners concent (Which is, atleast where im from, is common, just to make sure they like people.) Or, they were rough.
