More than 4.5 million people are bitten annually.
Here at Bulli Ray, we think every week of the year should be Dog Bite Safety Week - after all, employees are in harm's way 52 weeks out of the year, not just the one! Be sure to make this subject matter an important part of your safety training and weekly meetings. Also keep in mind that dogs are the most active this time of year and your employees are at the most risk when the weather is warm.
Be safe out there!

Breed of the Month:
German Shepherd
 History The German Shepherd Dog originated in 1899 at Karlsruhe, Germany due to the efforts of Captain Max von Stephanitz and others. Derived from the old breeds of herding and farm dogs, the first German Shepherd Dog exhibited in America was in 1907. The fame associated with Rin-Tin-Tin and Strongheart, two members of the breed whose movies played on variations of the boy and his dog theme, shot the popularity of the breed sky-high. The German Shepherd Dog is hailed as the world's leading police, guard and military dog, however, this dependable breed is more than its 9-to-5 job. Consistently one of the United States most popular breeds according to AKC.
