In October 2008 a city worker was mauled, and nearly killed by two dogs while he was walking in a neighborhood during his lunch hour. The dogs attacked this man for nearly one hour; he was hospitalized for a month and had several surgeries to repair the damages done to his body.
The City of Phoenix decided to have an educational course to help educate the workers on the streets on canine safety. They never wanted to see another worker go through this horrible experience. I was asked to conduct these seminars, and our goal was to outreach 700 workers in two months.
During this time I began to realize that everyone could benefit from this knowledge because dog attacks are not uncommon and it would empower people to know their options.
