What happens when the neighbor's 10 year old inadvertently walks over too near to the dog's bone?

If it's anything like my PitBull it would take the food and run off under the table to scoff it as quickly as possible.

But it's a silly example. Do you let random 10 year olds wander into your house? I certainly don't. It's a bit like saying "what happens when the neighbour's 10 year old inadvertently jumps in the deep end of your swimming pool?". Is that the swimming pool's fault?

Depends. In the US, it's an attractive nuisance and you are legally liable. FWIW, I did ask AI which says that even under Thai penal code, if the pool is unfenced then the owner of the pool is liable. Same goes for the dog. AI cited Articles 377, 300, 390, 291 of Thai Penal code.

You're such a Chicken Little - it's hilarious. 😄

Terrified of a chunky little dog. I guess your irrational fear explains the hatred you spew on here daily.

And your need to have a wannabe tough guy dog says a lot. Enjoy!

Awwww sorry - did I hurt your feelings. 😄

Actually, I'm thankful for all the ignorant wimps who are petrified of a dog because of its breed and a few hyperbolic Daily Mail articles. It keeps them away from my farm.

Experts note that no dog is inherently evil, and dangerous behavior usually stems from specific underlying factors rather than just genetics:

from Google search if you want references you can do the search yourself.

"Pit bulls account for the vast majority of fatal dog attacks in the U.S., while Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers account for very few. [1, 2]

Fatalities: Pit bulls and mixed pit bull-type dogs are responsible for roughly 65% to 66% of all recorded fatal dog attacks in the United States.

Labrador Retrievers

• Fatalities: Labrador Retrievers are involved in a very small number of fatal attacks—historically accounting for only a few isolated deaths nationwide over multi-year periods. [1]

Golden Retrievers

• Fatalities: Golden Retrievers are similarly responsible for very few fatal dog attacks, logging roughly 3 or fewer deaths in broad multi-breed historical datasets."

Not talking about "evil dogs" talking about dog breeds with a propensity to attack and do GBH.

You don't need to be an expert to know there are differences between breeds.

Cue the nitpicking and "yeah but" comments.

Even still, it's intuitively obvious to the most casual observer that some breeds are more dangerous than others.

I think you aren't realizing that these dogs, along with most any dog, can bite people, and the bites can be painful. That a pitbull can tear a person apart has happened many times, and they aren't all old women or kids.

It's very hard to combat a strong dog when it's mind is made up to attack, and although I've always been a strong adult, I wouldn't want to take one on unless I had a weapon, and only a very strong adult can do anything to fight one without a weapon in hand.

Nothing to do with being a wimp as these dogs are all muscle and don't have many places you can hurt right off. When a dog like this turns on you you'll know what it means. I've seen my daughter's two Rottweilers go after each other. them both being over 80 pounds and it took two adults just to separate them wearing collars. Luckily they didn't turn and bite either.

I've been around dogs all my 70 years, and would never have any of these breeds, even though I've seen many who are amiable and never attacked, because if they did, it would take a strong adult to fight one off, and if you have children, you aren't thinking having a dog like this around.

A 2 year old child was left in a room with one just a day ago in America, a family pet that had been aggressive before, and when the parents came home the child was dead..................https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/couple-charged-murder-locking-girl-160229789.html

Reading that article it's clearly a case of terrible parenting combined with terrible ownership.

Who leaves a 2 year old child alone in a room with a dog that attacked her 12 days earlier? No wonder they're being charged with murder.

As an aside, one of the main reasons for the stats is that any dog on the image below (plus many others like the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier etc.) is likely to be categorized as a "PitBull" (which isn't actually a breed at all but a broad term used for a dog with a certain look - including mixes etc.).

So people group about 20 breeds together, re-classify it as one breed and then claim "PitBulls" do more of the attacks. It's like comparing the crime rates of 20 cities combined to 1 city.

Dogs are the third deadliest animals we have on earth, so care needs to be taken owning and raising them, as all can bite and cause damage, and many can kill. Most attacks are from dogs that aren't trained right, around other humans and animals, and taught from birth the human is a friend. People who teach dogs aggression should only be police and military. A scared dog can bite from reflex, people that they live with.

Those dogs, along with Rottweilers, are responsible for the large majority of fatal attacks, along with bites causing the most damage. the Shepherds account for more. It again it a fact that they can cause the most damage and shouldn't be pets around young children, and need strict training and care to keep their aggression curtailed This is a very comprehensive link.............https://www.advancedbackandneckcare.com/dog-attacks-by-breed-2024-dog-bite-statistics-state-fatality-data
