“I was mauled by a dog when i was like 5, a springer spaniel hunting dog”
A friend of mine had a springer he trained for bird hunting. He was a very nice dog, then one day his wife gave their 3 yo a bath and sent him into the living room while she cleaned up. For some reason (there were no witnesses) the dog attacked the severely boy biting his face requiring plastic surgery. He had it put to sleep the next day. There was no warning and the dog was from a responsible breeder. Some people believe there is a condition called Springer Rage that causes attacks like this.
Dunno, it was a working hunting dog.
