CHILD SAFETY
| Unintentional injury is the leading cause of death among children ages 14 and under. Children are at a significant risk from unintentional injury-related death and disability. More than 40 percent of these deaths occurred in and around the house. Home injury deaths are caused primarily by fire and burns, suffocation, drowning, choking, poisoning and firearms. Young children are at the greatest risk from unintentional injuries in the home because it is where they spend most of their time. |

Dogs are an important part of the lives of many
families. It is easy to forget, that even though they
are often lovable and loyal, they are still animals.
They are not little people in furry suits. Animal
behaviour is unpredictable and even the nicest dog
can have a bad day. A happy dog is less likely to
bite than a dog that is angry, worried, hurt or
scared. Children and families can learn to read the
dog's body language and gauge how the dog is
feeling. Dogs can communicate in many different
ways, some overt and some subtle. Parents who
can understand when a dog is signaling that it has
had enough attention from a child can intervene
before the dog gets to the point of biting or
snapping. Even although a dog has never bitten, it
may at some point feel that it has no choice but to
act aggressively in order to make a child leave it
alone. Supervision and observation of dog body
language are important in preventing these
incidents.

Karen Delise author of Fatal Dog Attacks:
"This could possibly be the most effective way to teach children about dog safety. Doggone Crazy makes learning
about dogs fun and the interactive approach ensures that many children will be saved from a potentially
dangerous encounter with a dog from the information provided in this game."
Stanley Coren, Author of The Intelligence of Dogs, How to Speak Dog and How Dogs Think:
"Doggone Crazy is a fun game that teaches children how to interpret the body language and expressions of dogs. I
gave the game to my grandchildren and they enjoyed it immensely. The oldest taught the dog signals and
appropriate responses to her younger brothers and then proceeded to 'instruct' her parents as well. I think that
this is a wonderful contribution toward understanding dogs better and keeping kids safer."
Dr. Ed Bailey, B.S., M.S., Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Animal Behavior:
"The described and/or pictured dog postures, movement patterns and specific situations do an excellent job of
teaching the child what to look for, what to avoid, and most importantly how to defuse a possibly dangerous
situation. I recommend it highly without reservation."
Retired Superindendent of Curriculum - Halton Catholic School Board:
"This game should be in every school."
