00:19begins. If a dog attacks a possum, the possum won't give up easily. It will defend itself
00:25with razor-sharp teeth and powerful claws that can leave deep, severe wounds on your dog's face
00:31or paws. Even more dangerous is the health aspect. Possums can transmit parasites and fungi that infect
00:37dogs, such as the dangerous leptospirosis bacteria, through water contaminated with their droppings.
00:43A possum won't attack your dog on its own, but your dog's curiosity can land it in real trouble
00:49if their paths cross.
