Abstract
The research investigated the issues involving dog attacks on children, specifically by dogs known to the child. The report identifies the circumstances and conditions which may result in an attack by a family dog. This report provides research-based recommendations to reduce the incidence and severity of dog attacks on children.
To accomplish this objective a qualitative approach was applied, including examination of both New Zealand and overseas research on this issue.
