I delivered pizzas while I was in college. I can't begin to tell you the number of times someone would tell me, "Oh, he's the sweetest dog there is - he'd never hurt anybody"

Oh I've heard this 1000 times, and I've been bitten 3 times by dogs that would "lick you to death" according to their shocked and in some neighborhoods, lawsuit paranoid owners :)

Note to pet owners: Your dog won't bite you, HE KNOWS YOU!!

Don't assume anything.

BTW, my bites came from a Dalmation, a giant ugly poodle, and Chesapeak retriever.

I would be carrying a cattle prod in that job, partner, and a pocket full of dog biscuits.

I've always disliked those giant ugly poodles!

You can't trust them.

Were you OK?

I think Grannyx4 summed it up pretty well back in post #63...

"He is a dog; dogs bite. Only a moroon would think their dog is incapable of biting anyone."
