People who don't like dogs always say it's because they were bitten by one.  But according to a survey by a veterinary charity in the U.K., nearly one in three dog OWNERS have been bitten or attacked by a dog.

 

 

--They haven't necessarily been attacked by their OWN dog . . . but 30% say that they've been bitten by SOME dog at SOME point in their lives.  And more than HALF know someone else who's been attacked by a dog.   

 

 

--In a separate survey of children, two out of three kids said that they've been frightened by a dog's behavior.  

 

                        

--At least one in 10 dog owners admit that their dog exhibits problem behavior on a regular basis . . . and it could be as high as one in five.  

 

 

--Three in five . . . 61% . . . say that their dog didn't have any kind of training as a puppy . . . which might be why so many behave badly.
