A recent incident in Carnikava, Latvia, in which dogs attacked children, has brought renewed attention to safety around animals. The Russian-language portal of Latvian public media LSM cites the case as a sign that not all dog owners are responsible and not all dogs are well trained.
The portal stresses that both children and adults need to know how to behave when they meet a dog without an owner coming toward them.
The available excerpt of the article gives no specific behavioral advice, so none is included here. Details of the incident, such as the number of children involved or their condition, are also not specified.
