The incident of a 7-year-old boy in Hung Yen being attacked to death by a herd of dogs has raised public fear. How to escape if suddenly attacked by a rabid dog? Here are some tips that can be applied to escape.
Step 1: Stay calm, don't panic
Dogs are known for their ability to sense human emotions. Similar to hunting animals, dogs can feel our fear. If you become agitated and run away or shout, you can make your dog attack more recklessly, or worse, make you become its threat. Both of those situations were not good.
Step 2: Stand still, do not look at the animal's eyes
When the dog approaches, stand still, leave your hands on both sides, looking around. In many cases, dogs will lose interest and leave if you ignore them.
- Do not waver your arms or legs; the dog will receive such actions as a threat.
- Don't look at the dog's eyes, as that action can cause the dog to attack.
- Stand away from one side and use an overview to monitor instead of standing opposite and looking into the dog's eyes. This signals the dog that you are not a threat to them.
- Do not open your hands and raise your arms up. Hold your hands to avoid getting bitten by a dog. The dog can get close to you, even inhale you without biting you.
Step 3: getting lost
After staying calm, think of ways to distract them. Sit down, pick up a tree branch or a rock, or something, if you have something in hand, it is best.
Use these items to distract them, distract them, and shift your attention from yourself to that item by throwing them away.
Step 4: Don't run away
Don't run away when meeting a dog, this is the last thing to do and this action decides all your "life". When meeting strangers, dogs often barking, even muzzling up to attack the opponent, so at this time, we should not turn around and run away.
Because this action is like giving up on a dog. Because if we run away, they will think this is an aggressive person, immediately the dog's guards will be formed and immediately they will chase us. How could we run like that, this action was another mistake.
In the worst case of being chased and attacked by a dog, if the above measures are not possible, lie on the ground, roll up and cover your head and face with your arms tightly. The dog believes that fetal pose shows a subjective, surrendering attitude, it often does not continue to bite, can just smell and leave.
