Also too bad that most owners have never been trained and don't have a

Better a ripping squirrel to shreds than the face of your neighbours kid.

Better neither. That's why you train your dog. The kid you save may be your
own.
(According to the statistics family members are more likely to be harmed by
dogs than outsiders. The statistics also show that children are more likely
to be attacked than adults and in children most of the bites are to the
face.)
