What should be the immediate response when a dog causes serious injury?

Check the dog's health status
Provide first aid to the victim
Review the dog's training history
Assess the dog's living conditions

The correct answer is: Provide first aid to the victim

When a dog causes serious injury, the immediate response should prioritize the well-being of the victim. Administering first aid is critical to stabilize the injured person's condition and mitigate further harm. This may involve controlling bleeding, preventing shock, or performing CPR if necessary. Addressing the victim's injuries should always be the foremost concern in any emergency situation. While checking the dog's health status, reviewing its training history, and assessing the living conditions are all important aspects to consider, they are secondary to ensuring the victim receives prompt medical attention. These steps can follow the immediate care for the injured party, as they may help inform the future handling of the situation, but they do not take precedence in the moment of urgency.
