A person's provocation can manifest in emotional instability: - fear (looking dogs in the eyes is perceived as aggression); - dislike, nervousness, anxiety (threatening gestures such as waving hands or stomping feet); - irritability, depression (gloomy appearance, sharp or hissing sounds). If you notice that a dog is unfriendly, try not to look at it, but do not turn your back. Do not run. Act calmly, as if you do not care. Look away, keeping an eye on the dog's behavior and gradually moving to a safe distance. Note that dogs are more likely to attack men than women and children. Men tend to behave more confidently, trying to confront animals, scaring them with shouts or swinging objects. This can provoke the dog to defend its territory and lead to conflict. Bites can also occur when people, especially when intoxicated, try to pet a dog. In such cases, the animal should not be blamed—it is simply defending itself from a stranger who may seem threatening.
