that just snapped and went wild.


For the most part, seemingly gentle family pets of all breeds are
untrained. ALL dogs should be trained. ALL large dogs should be
professionaly trained.

Too bad that few dogs received knowledgeable training, much less
professional training. Makes you question the sanity of allowing dangerous
breeds into residential neighbourhoods.

Reality check: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "DANGEROUS BREED" of dog. All
breeds of dogs are potentially dangerous and the danger increases in
proportion to their size and strength. This is not because larger dogs are
more aggressive. It is because they can do more damage.
