The Sioux Falls Animal Shelter has taken the dog into custody. Animal control experts said it’s not easy to predict when an animal will attack, but the likelihood of this increases during the holidays, when there are a lot of strangers and a lot of noise.

“Any animal can bite,” said Sioux Falls animal control lead Milo Hartson. — Most dogs and cats bite out of fear. They are simply afraid of their surroundings, afraid of what is happening. No one knows when an animal might bite, you always have to be careful.”
