One of the dogs had bitten a man's legs while he was strolling through the gardens. The man was sent to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, and has since been discharged. The dogs had bitten the man's legs and the bloodstains could be clearly seen.
The park has advised those who encounter stray dogs
to stay calm, slow down and walk in a different

Safety Tips:
HOW
TO AVOID STRAY ANIMAL BITING!? .....
- Dog fear can
cause dog bites. (Fear of strangers, startled dogs, expose pets, leave some
treats)
- Prey drive can cause dog bites( Another
instinct to be aware of and is sometimes triggered by running or cycling past a
dog resulting in a chase. Be aware of your environment if you are jogging or
cycling and if you see a roaming dog try to avoid crossing paths.
If a dog does give chase then the best things to do is stop moving and stand tall facing the dog. Be aware of the dog but do not make eye contact which can be seen as a challenge by the dog.
They may come up and sniff you but will eventually find you uninteresting and move on to find something else. If a dog knocks you over then curl up in a ball protecting your face hands and neck and be still. Teach children to do the same and set up a mock “stray dog” drill.)
