RE: The Possibility of getting an Infection from a Dog Bite.

Hello @oluwatobiloba,
I love dogs. This article is informative about how to deal with a dog bite. However, as a dog lover I found this statement a little alarming:
However, as much as my dog can be a very lovely dog to be, he could be a beast to a stranger as a matter of fact, he is extremely overprotective of me and anytime he sees a stranger coming close to me, his response is to attack the stranger.
In my home this would be a red flag. As a matter of fact, if I were adopting this dog from a shelter (all my dogs come from shelters) the people who run the shelter probably would warn me, or not adopt it out at all. It would be considered a dangerous dog.
Loving dogs as I do, I respect the power of their bite. I'm sure you keep that beautiful dog on a leash and warn others about its aggression.
Thank you for this most interesting article. Definitely, if you are bitten, you should get a tetanus booster at the very least if you shot is not recent.
Dear @agmoore, thanks for your concern and wonderful contribution. He is always in a safe cage during the day and released at night to protect the house against thieves, the case of robbery is increasing at a rather alarming rate over here but with a dog like mine, our house has been off limit for them.
