Due to the varying levels of the dangers involved with "animal bites" , more information is required, as in, the TYPE of animal. Venomous snake bites can result in quick OR slow death. Bites from rabid mammals such as squirrels, possums, or dogs can also cause death. Mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and flies can carry diseases that will eventually result in death. A Great White Shark will take a limb completely off, resulting in loss of blood at a rapid rate, often resulting in death. It is the same way with Bears, Lions, Tigers, and Wolves.

Personally, I tend to yell, and get the dog to turn loose. Then I would go clean the bite, put a clean dressing on the bite, let the dog's owner know about it, and see the doctor. Law enforcement should be notified- they can check to see if the dog has been vaccinated for rabies,
