Abstract |
1976 statistics show that 35 officers of the French Electricity Board (chiefly meter readers and electricians) were bitten by a dog, most often in the presence of its owner. After brief remarks on the character of the dog, the article explains why it may become aggressive, describes the signs of aggressiveness and gives some rules for behaviour in this case. Possible prevention measures: a symbol (e.g. a dog's head) on the file card providing information on the user, notices sent to dog owners, surveillance of biting dogs. Relevant French regulations. |
