Category: Dog Bites

April 8-14 is National Dog Bite Awareness Week. While we hope you will never be bitten by a dog, it’s important to know that dog bites can be extremely serious. It’s also important to realize that any dog can bite under the right circumstances — even good dogs.

Last February, Susan Roehm was permanently disfigured when a Travis County deputy’s dog bit her in the face and dragged her several feet during a training session. She’s now filing suit against Travis County, Sherriff Greg Hamilton and James Moore, the deputy who owns the dog.
