Researchers from Guelph's Ontario Veterinary College found that while pet dogs were more common in rural households, dog bites are more of a city problem.

A new study shows those living in a city are twice as likely to be bit by a dog compared to those living in the country and the majority of those bites come from off-leash dogs.

The study was published in Zoonoses and Public Health and the research involved a survey of 2,006 respondents including 1,002 rural and 1,004 urban residences.

This is akin to the study that concluded that the reason people refrigerate beer is that they like it cold.

Not a waste of taxpayers money. It is estimated that our government spends $3 billion a year on bogus research.
