Reporter: We’ve all heard the expression a dog is a man’s best friend. But to make this relationship work, people need to know about dogs’ body languages so they don’t feel threatened and lash out a bite.

記者：我們都知道狗是人類最好的朋友，但要保持這種良好關係，必須要懂一些狗的肢體語言，免得惹牠們發狂咬人。

Stilwell: Most dogs that bite only doing so because they are scared and they want to warn you, to back away. That’s what the expression achieves. Distance.

史蒂威爾：大部分咬人的狗是因為牠們被嚇到了，所以想給人警告，叫你退後。這就是”咬”的作用。保持距離。

Reporter: So if you’re meeting a dog for the first time…

記者：所以，如果你第一次接觸某隻狗…

Stilwell: Most important thing to remember is to give it space. Do not go into that dog’s space.

史蒂威爾：最重要、要記住的是，給牠空間；不要進入狗的警戒區。

Reporter: Let the dog come to you, Stilwell says. Turn your body to the side, so it looks less threatening. Put your hand in a fist and hold your hand down, so the dog can sniff your fist.

記者：史蒂威爾說，讓狗自動接近你(而不是你接近牠)。把身體轉向一邊，這樣看起來比較沒有威脅感。然後手握拳、慢慢放下，好讓狗狗聞一聞。

Stilwell: When you meet a dog as well, don’t stare their eyes. Just smile a little bit. Because staring their eyes may be a challenge, a threat. 

史蒂威爾：在路上遇到狗時，不要盯著眼睛看。因為牠們會認為這是一種挑釁，威脅。

Reporter: Pat the animal on the back of the neck or on his back, not on top of the head, she says. Yawning and licking lips are signs of uncomfortable, and want you to back away.

Try not to run from the dog or scream. If you get nut over to roll into a ball, lie still and cover your head.

When it comes to avoid a dog’s bite, knowing what to look for of our four legs friends can help both men and dogs stay safe. For today’s health minutes, I’m Holly Firfer.

記者：史蒂威爾說，你可以拍狗狗脖子後方或後背，但不要摸牠的頭頂。狗狗若張大嘴、打呵欠，或舔嘴巴，就表示牠覺得不自在，要你離遠一點。

遇到狗時不跑掉或尖叫；如果你被嚇到在地上縮成一團，就保護頭部、靜靜躺著。

不想被狗咬，就要了解我們這四隻腳的朋友；這麼做，也讓彼此都安全。這是今天的健康時間，我是芙爾菲。
