1. Puncture wounds with no significant injury

2. A bite that causes victim death

The correct answer is: A bite that causes victim death

A Level 6 dog bite is classified as one that results in the death of the victim. This classification reflects the severity of the incident and highlights the extreme nature of the harm inflicted. Understanding that such a severe outcome is at the top end of the scale helps contextualize dog bite incidents in terms of severity and potential consequences for both the victim and the dog owner. Accurate classification allows for appropriate responses and interventions, emphasizing the importance of responsible pet ownership and effective animal control measures to prevent such tragic occurrences.
