Statistical studies tend to be muddy. Often the “breed” of the offending dog is unclear. German shepherds are frequently used in police work, yet they are also famous for guiding the blind, finding lost children, and rescuing victims buried in rubble. Are they to be labeled an attack breed?

Joe’s advice is good Ãi¿½” one bite is too many. However, we need to apply this rule fairly to all dogs, regardless of their parentage.
