Here's a list of tips from the CDC to teach your kids to help prevent dog bites. Do not approach an unfamiliar dog. Do not run from a dog and scream. Remain motionless (e.g., "be still like a tree") when approached by an unfamiliar dog. If knocked over by a dog, roll into a ball and lie still (e.g., "be still like a log"). Do not play with a dog unless supervised by an adult. Immediately report stray dogs or dogs displaying unusual behavior to an adult. Avoid direct eye contact with a dog. Do not disturb a dog who is sleeping, eating, or caring for puppies. Do not pet a dog without allowing it to see and sniff you first. If bitten, immediately report the bite to an adult.  May 18 - 24 is National Dog Bite Prevention Week. Each year, nearly 400,000 children seek medical attention for dog bites.
