- Scarring and Disfigurement: Severe dog bites can cause permanent scarring and disfigurement, requiring extensive medical treatment and potentially impacting a victim's self-esteem and quality of life.
- Emotional Trauma: In addition to physical injuries, dog bites can also cause emotional trauma, such as anxiety, fear, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
- Nerve Damage: Dog bites may result in nerve damage, causing pain, numbness, or loss of sensation in the affected area.
