The data was analyzed with the help of description and inferential statistics.

RESULTS: Out of 100 samples in experimental group majority 92 Childrens (92.0%) has good knowledge where is in control group majority 66 children’s (66.0%) has average knowledge on first aid management of dog bite.
Hence, the hypothesis H1is accepted that there is a significant difference between the posttest level of knowledge in experimental and control group.

The mean value is 25.53 and standard deviation is 3.106 in experimental group, whereas in control group the mean value is 11.35 and standard deviation is 2.213. The obtained ‘t’ value for experimental and control group is 37.185at the degree of freedom (df) 198 significant at
0.000level. Hence, the hypothesis is accepted that there is a significant difference between the experimental and control group 
study revealed that there is significant association between age (X2=22.36), class of study (X2=12.509), like pet animals (X2=23.588), like to play with dogs (X2=5.689) in experimental group with level of significance p=0.05
