National Canine Research Council

The mission of The National Canine Research Council is to publish accurate, documented, reliable research to promote a better understanding of the human-canine bond. Statistics or sites that merely list the number of dog attacks on humans, and the breeds of dogs they claim to have identified, offer no insight into why these attacks occurred. Therefore, they provide neither information which may help to reduce the incidence of dog attacks, nor a better understanding of how to improve the human-canine bond. Over the course of nearly two decades of intensive research and investigation, the NCRC has developed the most complete body of historical work available on fatal dog attacks. This body of knowledge has taken us beyond the limitations of epidemiological studies.
