While everyone is certainl...Excellent post, Karen! <br />While everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion, I find it incredibly ignorant for people to say that one breed is more dangerous than another breed. As you said, all dogs (big and small) have the ability to cause harm; it's the responsibility of the dog OWNERS to know their animal's limits, as well as the warning signs their dog exhibits to alert them that they're not comfortable.<br />For instance, I know that my dog (who is very small, by the way) needs time to warm up to adult males. If a man comes in who he is uncomfortable with and that person approaches him, he will turn his head away from that person and "purse" his lips. That's his cue, and me knowing that has prevented any incidents of him ever biting anyone. I tell men he comes in contact with to allow him to be the one to approach them, not the other way around. Once he warms up to a new man, he is the sweetest dog in the world to them.<br />There are some people in this world who should never be dog owners — period. Banning breeds will never change that, nor will it stop dog bites/attacks from occurring.Leahnoreply@blogger.com
