haha, I hear that same rationale on court tv shows where the owners have had a history of dog bites from their precious pitbull only to still live in delusions that their dog loves children... yes to attack!!!
As a residential plumber for 35 years, I have been in countless homes with pet dogs of all kinds.
In all those years, I have only been bitten by two dogs.
BOTH were .......... POODLES!
Not kidding.
