AT LEAST ONE DOG BITE REPORT IS FILED IN SALINAS EVERY DAY, AND IN RESPONSE THE ANIMAL SHELTER HAS CREATED A PROGRAM FOR POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DOGS. IN 2003 ALMOST 17 THOUSAND DOG BITE CLAIMS WERE MADE COSTING 10 THOUSAND DOLLARS EACH ON AVERAGE. IF BITTEN IT IS RECOMMENDED TO SEE A DOCTOR REGARDLESS OF SEVERITY OF THE BITE.
