No! But if your dog kills you should be subject to the death penalty or life in prison.
One of my dogs has killed.
He got a medal.
More have saved lives. Some have died trying.
My uncle, from whom I learned, had many dogs recieve medals. Some saved the lives of who knows how many soldiers by running countersniper missions in the bush in the late sixties, early seventies.
Many of them died in the field. Most of them.
Of course, if a person's dog hurts a person, the owner is liable, just as if a person shoots someone, the gun is not the criminal.
Just like guns, dogs in the hands of police, soldiers emergency workers AND civilians have saved many times the lives that they have taken. You read about two or three sensational cases a year where a dog goes bad.
You seldom read where a dog has gone into a fire or a lake and rescued a human but it happens every day. So common it's mundane. There's also the Guide Dogs of America, who procure seeing eye dogs and wheel chair assist dogs, you never hear about them.
Guess what?
Rottweilers are great assistance dogs because of their calm manner, stability and great strength.
They are great rescue dogs due to their determination, great noses and tremandous courage.
They are wonderful companion dogs. I believe you'd think again if you ever saw the reaction mine get when we visit Operation Stand Down and they get mobbed by the homeless vets, who so desperately need the compassion that is found in the sloppy tongues and wiggling stumps of their tails.
