What defines a Level 5 dog bite?

Single bite with minimal injury
Multiple shallow bites without severe injury
Repeated attacks causing significant injury
No visible injuries but a threat

The correct answer is: Repeated attacks causing significant injury

A Level 5 dog bite is characterized by repeated attacks that result in significant injury. This designation indicates a severe situation where the victim has sustained serious wounds due to aggressive behavior from the dog, demonstrating a high level of danger and risk associated with that animal. In this context, a significant injury may involve deep puncture wounds, lacerations, or extensive tissue damage that may require medical intervention, highlighting the seriousness of the attack. It reflects the critical nature of the incident both in terms of the physical harm caused and the potential behavioral implications for the dog involved. Understanding this classification is essential for animal control officers as it guides their response protocols, informs assessments of the animal's future behavior, and helps determine appropriate measures for public safety.
