    Little dogs can’t kill you

    Even a little dog can bite you right in the throat, breaking your carotid artery so you to bleed to death. Don’t underestimate the strength of their bite just because they are smaller than a cat.

      Even a little dog can bite you right in the throat

      If a little dog can jump ~5.5 foot to reach my throat, then it deserves the kill. But this is very much not represented by the statistics at all. Little dogs simply don’t kill people. I looked at the stats a bunch of months ago before the reddit exodus… It’s like one “little dog breed” every 4-5 years (which is representative of a fraction of a fraction of a percent)… where 65+% of all dog related deaths are from a pit bull breed.

      Hahahahahaha! I have never had my life threatened by anything but a pit. People i know who own them always end up covered in wounds. And those who deal with family that has them know just how awful they are.
