So, that means all dogs charge? It was a lab.
I attribute most of these cases to affirmative action hires who have never owned or been around dogs.
When they see a black lab running at them they see a black bear charging. Most of us people with even a little dog knowledge would just take a knee and enjoy the lick fest.
I think the police academies should add a few hours of basic dog knowledge.
Only dog that ever bit me was a lab. I was about 10 and riding my bike up the street past the owner's driveway, and the dog ran out and nailed me on the right hip before I even knew it was there. My dad spoke to the owner, and there was no more trouble from that dog. That was in the days before people sued each other over anything or nothing.
Anyway, even though labs tend to be less aggressive than a lot of other breeds, that doesn't guarantee that they'll never bite.
There is a reason why Black Labs are a top popular dog in the US. They love everybody and have the best temperament. I have a 115# British Black Lab. He’s a hand full and nothing but love.
