You know what the problem with that is? I believe that in 99% of all cases a dog bite is a human error, it's the owner not raising and training the dog the right way, or the person being bitten making the most fundamental mistakes.
In the UK there are tons of Staffies and a lot of people have Jack Russells, I happen to have 2 rescue Dobermans, the dogs have both been bitten by a lot of Staffies and once almost been killed by a Jack Russell who got underneath the boy and almost gutted him. I would never blame the breed, there are some idiots here who think an aggressive dog makes them more "manly", they do everything to get the dogs aggressive, they have ZERO control over their dogs, and yes, those dogs cause incidents. Would make a lot more sense to put the effing owners down. Staffies are lovely dogs IN THE RIGHT HANDS, same as Pits, it doesn't take a lot to turn a dog into a ticking time bomb and I have no time for "dog owners" who can't be bothered to train their dogs or work with them, they shouldn't effing have them. When it comes to Jack Russells, well those dogs were bred to be hunting dogs, they look cute and small but they are super energetic Terriers, they don't get enough exercise, they tend to get aggressive. Again not the dog's fault - fault of the owner.
The girl was bitten so often, she started to have dog aggression, we worked with a dog trainer, done and over now, didn't happen over night, but I can't say I blame her, somewhere after being bitten the 7th time she decided to growl at dogs who approached, didn't help that she has a docked tail and is black, made it much more difficult for other dogs to read the signs that she is friendly. She's fine now, she will even play with Staffies if they approach her in a friendly fashion, if they don't, I call her back and place myself between her and the dog and chase the other dog away. I'm the pack leader, she looks at me for guidance, a dog that is overly aggressive is usually an insecure dog, the human has failed to be the pack leader and the dog thinks it needs to be on the defensive, super stressful for a dog.
When we got the boy, he was 2 years old and had gone through 5 homes, history of abuse as a puppy, he's terrified of brooms, had taken a chunk out of a previous owner, turned out the stupid bitch had tried to beat him with a broom into submission, when he was a bouncy teenager and growled at her (duhhh male Dobies do tend to grumble especially when young, it's really like a teenager mumbling, part of growing up) X-rays showed he had broken ribs, if he would have meant business, it wouldn't have been a little nip, watch them demolish bones... He's now such a good natured baby, the only problem we had with him was the neighbour brat coming into our backyard and hitting him on the nose repeatedly. I kept telling the brat to stop doing it (dog noses are sensitive), I think somebody with 6 or 7 ought to understand, no joy, so idiot child did it again and as usually ran away screaming. Dog padded after him, grabbed him by the seat of the pants (not a scratch on the bastard) and carried him over to the brat's house and dumped him in front of his mother, who went nuts. So I went a bit nuts and told her that if her brat does that to the wrong dog, then she won't have a brat anymore and if she can't teach a kid that age that it is wrong to torture animals, she's a massive fail as a mother, what is he doing on our yard anyway... She huffed off, especially when her husband agreed and told the boy if he ever does it again, his toys will be confiscated. A few days later I watch the brat sneaking up to our big cat sleeping in the sun and grabbing his tail, big cat boy is super shy and doesn't like anybody but the dogs and his mom (vet laughs that she is never worried about the dogs but scared when we bring the cats in for shots), cat went absolutely mental and the little shit ended up bleeding, needless to say that I went and bought a steak for the cat!
Seriously, whenever I hear about dangerous dogs and stuff like dog bit baby, I think about all the "cute pics" idiots post on FB where a little child grabs a dog by the ear or the lips, the dog looks usually utterly terrified - and that's how a lot of those bites happen, not the fault of the dog, the fault of people who shouldn't have kids - or pets.
Dogs aren't unpredictable or dangerous, they are made that way by humans who are too lazy, too stupid or just plainly too fucked up themselves.
You look at fatalities, well naturally a bigger dog will have a bigger bite, that's a bit BS, almost like saying a truck crashing into you is more fatal than a pram. If you do look at the overall bites, you'll find that the purse dogs have the highest bite incidents, because the stupid bints who have them as fashion accessories don't bother training them, only if one of those barking rats bites you, there isn't the power behind it a real dog has, the bite is less severe so they don't get reported.
