The American Humane Organization has offered some tips to dog owners to minimize the possibility of a dog attack. When dogs are stressed, they are at a greater risk of acting aggressively. These are some of the signs that indicate your dog may be stressed:
* Panting or rapid breathing
* Pacing or excessive movement
* Charging forward, batting or snapping
* Dilated, large pupils
* Hunched-up body posture
* Fluffed-up fur
An observant dog owner should be able to detect unusual activity by their dog and react promptly to diffuse a possible dog attack
