In 1995, a Chow Chow killed a baby. All dogs, regardless of breed, are descended from wolves. The world is about acceptable risks, and knowing that dogs can be dangerous is a responsibility all adults have to live with. Humans are far more dangerous than dogs, after all, since humans are behind all murders, car accidents, medical malpractice, etc. I live in Manhattan and people routinely poke my glasses with their umbrellas (thank God for nearsightedness). Should they have their umbrellas taken away? No. They should be shamed. Did the dog in your bar kill anyone? No. The owner should be shamed. I’m all for gun control, but this is a poor simile.
