Even as a kid, it was too cheesy to scare me! (Kind of the same genre as "The Giant Claw"..._

“A young, healthy Labrador Retriever is perfectly capable of killing people.”
But their mere presence does not present imminent death possibilities like venomous reptiles.
As Thomas Sowell says, being broad minded is good but not so broad minded that your brains fall out.

LOL, their tails, which can clear a coffee table of priceless artifacts in a single swipe, are far more effective weapons of battery!

“sleeps in the middle of the road.”
Did you know that they used to think all racoons carried rabies ... because they had done a “study” ...the thing is ..
they only studied ones that they found flat in the road.
Science !
Did you know possums can't get rabies? ... I guess they just like to sleep in the road.

“I hope you kept her!”
Going on 50 years ...
I don’t think I would have made it to 30 without her.
She really helped with my decision making.
I think I’ll ask her if I can get a gila monster ...
how many pets have the word monster in the name?
Wouldn’t that tell you something ?

“o ... and now she’s telling me I should get rid of my possum”.
Possums make great pets.

Normally I would be against a new wife making demands that you change stuff, but in this case I can see her point.

Ronda Persall died after being beat by a Lab’s tail.

Their saliva is quite toxic to humans. All it takes is prolonged contact, or a bite that breaks the skin. From what I understand, the Komodo dragon IS venomous. Their venom takes several hours to kill. It prevents the blood clotting from the massive wounds they inflict, it lowers the blood pressure of victims and causes massive bleeding. Then the lizard just waits around for the victim to become weakened enough to consume. They have killed and eaten people, in addition to water buffalo, deer, horses, dogs--anything they can catch on their island.
