Personality type may be linked to a heightened risk of being bitten by a dog, with people of a more anxious disposition more likely to be nipped, suggests research published online in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

Of course - anxious people make dogs more anxious and anxious dogs are more likely to bite.
