It’s 85 degrees with a cool Delta breeze rustling through the leaves in your backyard. The barbecue pit is fired up and the savory aroma of the hickory dangles in the air.
The kids are running around while the grownups share deployment stories at the table. But then a teen sets off a firecracker and the next sound you hear is a loud barking noise followed by a child’s high-pitched cry. Your heart sinks as you realize that a dog just bit a child.
If you think this scenario is uncommon or improbable, think again.
