Fatal dog attacks in Spain under a breed-specific legislation: A ten-year retrospective study

Forensic evaluation of fatal dog attacks requires interdisciplinary teams where veterinarians testify with forensic pathologists and odontologists to provide information about the circumstances of the attack, examine the scene, and study the autopsy of the victim or animal. In Spain, there is a shortage of scientific studies focused on dog bites and fewer studies on fatal attacks. The aim of this study is to use a multidisciplinary approach to review fatal dog maulings that occurred in Spain over a 10-year period.
