It’s National Dog Bite Prevention Week! There are many things that you can do to avoid dog bites, ranging from properly training and socializing your pet to educating your children on how, or if, they should approach a dog. Information is one of the best cures for this public health crisis.

 

Here is the AVMA page on Dog Bite Prevention. The photo above is not directly from the AVMA but
has some very common sense information.

The Karl fund is a research fund Karl’s wife Mary Beth had created. She has also set up a special page on Facebook about the fund.

The following is a description of the fund from the Facebook page:

In memory of my late husband I began a research fund at the University of Minnesota after Karl’s death. The original donation was the remainder of the funds raised at Karl’s benefit at the Quest shortly before his cancer returned. This fund is used in research for the early detection of esophageal cancer, the cancer that took Karl’s life.
