Incredible Dog Bite Statistics

I can't vouch for the statistics cited in this article but if they are half true it is staggering and no wonder that State Farm is involved in an awareness campaign. Make no mistake though, State Farm's motives are thinly disguised as altruism. They will fight tooth and nail against you and your child who is bitten by one of their insured's dogs. They will even blame you and your child for provoking the dog. Don't be fooled. State Farm is protecting their bank account. Make sure you have homeowners coverage for dog bites if you keep dogs. Part of being a RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNER is not allowing your beloved pet to be put in a situation where he/she reacts and causes someone harm AND having insurance coverage to pay medical bills in case your dog does what comes naturally to dogs.
