Attitudes of children and adults to dogs in Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom

These results suggest that it is possible to use a questionnaire to measure attitudes of very young children to dogs and, because no differences were found between the different countries, it should be possible to use a single dog bite prevention program for Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom, rather than having to modify it to suit different cultures. In addition, the attitudes to dogs' questionnaire may be used in various other contexts such as to assess the effectiveness in changing attitudes of a welfare education program on dogs.
