Another interesting statistic that can be gleaned from these figures occurs in the age group 0 to 9 years. The media has consistently given maximum attention to the attacks of vicious dogs against innocent and defenceless children. This has always struck me as an attempt to create an unnecessary panic in the populace. I was therefore somewhat gratified when the statistics show quite clearly that dog attacks and collisions involving children in this age range have actually declined by approximately 18% over the last 10 years.

This bar graph shows how dogs target young children rather than old. The most targeted age group is children aged 0-4. The website is reliable to trust because the website is called 'dangerousdogsact.com' and specifies in dog bites and dog attacks on young children.
