A young girl came in with a bite on her arm from the family dog during playtime. The bite wasn’t severe, but you could tell it was an accident. We cleaned it up, and took the opportunity to talk to her parents about recognising when a dog might be overstimulated or tired. It was a good reminder that even the most loving pets need their space sometimes. The girl left with a bandaged arm and a better understanding of how to interact with her dog safely.
