Last week, a 911 operator received a most chilling call; it was a dog attack call. A 5 year old girl was brutally attacked by a vicious dog. The little girl was playing in a yard when a neighbor's pit bull attacked her. He chomped down on her face and literally tossed her around like a play toy. Half her face was instantly and permanently destroyed and the yard was soon got covered in her blood. After hearing her screams for help the neighbor immediately called 911. Before help arrived, the entire right side of the girl's face was completely bitten off.

The girl was rushed to the hospital where doctors operated on her face four times in an attempt to reconstruct it as best as they could. However due to her tender age, the doctors have to wait for her to grow up a little more before they can perform several more surgeries to make additional improvements. The emotional and psychological scars will take much longer to overcome, if ever. Her family is trying to make everything as normal as possible for her. It has been reported that she can talk and sing normally and she is handling the situation bravely.

Today personal injury accidents are increasingly the result of our fast paced lives. People are too distracted or pre-occupied to pay enough attention to prevent themselves or others from being hurt or killed. Injuries to our bodies usually affect us mentally, emotionally or psychologically. Pain can cause stress, emotional conflict, depression and many other undesirable feelings. If our ability to work, take care of our families or pursue the things that are important to us are diminished, the repercussions can affect our family, friends, co-workers, neighbors and others who rely on us.

We can be injured in many ways such as in a car, motorcycle or truck accidents, bus and train accidents, acts of domestic violence perpetrated on us by ones who are supposed to love us, injuries in the workplace, injuries from dangerous or defective products, injuries from defective or dangerous places where we walk or climb and injuries from dangerous animals (most commonly, dogs). Other sources of injuries are complications from errors in prescription medication, elder abuse, airplane injuries and molestation.

In United States, the number of dog bite injuries is on the rise and so is the cost of treating those injuries. In fact many unfortunate and brutal dog attacks have occurred in the past few years resulting in serious injuries and at times deaths. Of all the dog bite victims, easily half are children!

Dog bite injuries can be physical and emotional. They can sometimes be so severe that they cause permanent deformity and even death.  For instance, deep cuts, fractures and ruptures on the body especially the face that require years of reconstructive surgeries like grafting, scar reduction treatments and physical and psychological therapy. Very often there is not a full recovery from this kind of injury. 

Another type of injury resulting from a dangerous attack by a dog is emotional injury. The attack can put an individual, especially a child, in state of constant paranoia and stress which will require years (or even a lifetime) of professional help. 

In most of the dog bite incidents, the victim pays for all the expenses out of his pocket which should be taken care of by the owner of the dog.
