In the early stages of America, many immigrants brought their treasured Pit Bull dogs over as part of their families. Though the dogs were bred for fighting sports, the were also incredibly intelligent and friendly. They were used for a variety of jobs that included farming, protecting the family from predators, watching the children, and providing companionship. As the popularity of newspapers and media grew throughout the years, many of these dogs were brought to attention for the number of exemplary deeds they performed.

The first person ever to receive a full face transplant was in France and the dog involved was?  You guessed it wrong, was a Golden Labrador.

 

Edit:- All animals bite no matter what the species/breed.  Sorry the French person only had a partial transplant.

Isabelle Dinoire (1967 – 22 April 2016) was a French woman who was the first person to undergo a partial face transplant, after her Labrador retriever cross breed mauled her in May 2005. She underwent a 15-hour operation in November 2005 in which surgeons transplanted the nose, lips and chin from a brain-dead donor at a hospital in Amiens. She died at age 49 in April 2016, though her death was not announced until more than four months later.[1][2]

Avoiding Injuries From Animals

You are here

Injuries from animals are all too often caused by inappropriate actions by owners, children, neighbors, or passers by. Many injuries could be avoided if people were more aware of animal behavior. The Humane Society of Utah compiled the following information to educate clients to save them the suffering and costs associated with dog and cat injuries, and to save their animals from the stress of quarantine or being destroyed by animal control agencies following an incident.

The German shepherd and cross-bred shepherds, Chow Chow and cross-bred Chow Chows, Poodle, Fox terrier, Airedale terrier, and Pekingese have the highest record of biting. The least likely to bite are the Golden retriever, Labrador retriever, Shetland sheepdog, Old English sheepdog, Welsh terrier, Yorkshire terrier, Beagle, Dalmatian, and Pointer. This varies with each individual within a breed and can serve only as a general guide.

There are few truly vicious animals. When animals attack, it is usually for a reason. For instance, if you enter what they consider to be their property, they may defend it. Some dog breeds are more territorial than others. Uncastrated males and females with pups or kittens may be more protective than other animals. Dogs may protect their 'pack' (a human family or other animals on the property.)

Dogs are basically territorial, as they become protective of how-ever large an area is available and they can adequately protect from outsiders. This may be the length of a chain, or it may be an entire yard. It may also be a physically unmarked area that the animal marks with feces or urine. Any animal, including man, that enters this area becomes 'fair game' if the animal is aggressive or is startled.

In addition, animals have what are known as areas of 'flight or fight.' When an animal is in a stressful situation, it will usually stand up for its territory until an intruder enters this area. The animal must then decide whether to run or attack. If the animal is chained or restrained in a small area, he is forced to take the aggressive approach. This is why many bites occur from chained, closely confined, or cornered animals.

Other dangerous situations include sleeping and eating animals, bitches with pups, queens with kittens, dog packs pursuing a female 'in heat', mating or fighting animals, injured or trapped animals, and animals that are surprised or startled. In each of these instances the animal may act aggressively.

Another common problem is the 'fear biter.' It lives a life of constant fear due to ill-treatment or poor breeding. It may demonstrate physically aggressive and submissive attitudes at the same time. It may raise its hackles, the tail is generally tucked between its legs, the ears are usually back and flattened, and it may show either aggressive or submissive facial expressions. The animal will probably urinate at the same time it demonstrates aggressive behavior. This animal should be avoided as its behavior is unpredictable.

There are several categories of animals which offer a threat to unknown visitors: a dog with a history of abuse that learned it can fight back when threatened; a cat that is mishandled by children without parental supervision, a dog that has been kicked and learned to react quickly to do damage to the kicker; the wild or 'feral' cat fed by area residents, but that will not permit handling; the small and insecure dog that sees everything larger than itself as a threat, and the panic-stricken dog.

Stress or threats to an animal may be real or imagined. Just because a person is on its territory may generate aggression. From the animal's viewpoint, you are much taller, a fact that is very threatening. If you move fast, the animal has a difficult time seeing what is occurring and may instinctively chase or attack the moving target. Direct eye contact, loud noises, or backing the animal into an area where you are blocking the escape route may trigger aggressive action.
