What to do in case of attack?

Never give in to panic, don't try to escape. Bear in mind that the instinct tells the dog to hunt for everything that moves. Even if your knees are trembling, remain calm and talk to the dog without embarrassment, as if it is your own dog: "What's up, baby?" If it snarls, this is a good sign; at least, it gives you an opportunity to step back. Move slowly, avoid sudden movements, don't try to beat it. If you have a bag or an umbrella with you, then, if necessary, hold them in front of you to protect yourself.

If you despite all precautions have been bitten by a dog, then visit a doctor as soon as possible. Report to the police about the incident, give details of the incident and describe the dog. All this may play an important role if it comes about, whether to inoculate against lyssa or not. Always remember that whether dogs look peaceful or dangerous, you should always treat them with understanding and caution.
