Dog bite incidents often occur out of the blue. Oftentimes, the bite victim is calmly going about his or her business when a dangerous dog appears out of nowhere and unexpectedly attacks and bites him or her. Dog bites sometimes occur when a dangerous dog is not properly confined to the owner’s yard (such as by a fence) or when the dog escapes from the owner and runs around the neighborhood at large.
