My golden is dangerous like that too. I probably should be responsible and put a sign and cones around her. :)

I looked up the statistics for killings an serious maulings by breed for the worst offenders and normalized by the % of the dog population. If you do then you see that PBs although they account for far more of the attacks than the other dangerous breeds are actually third on the list in terms of individual risk by dangerous breeds

Personally even if I wanted a pet, I'd avoid all of these breeds
