Several thousand of people are killed by dogs each year

They are near the top of the list of human-killing animals

    Huh, didn't think this was true on first glance, but it is if taken worldwide. In the US, bites are still high, but there are very few deaths from them.

    Most of the deaths come from rabies in countries that don't have widely available rabies vaccines. This seems like a solvable problem like tuberculosis if greed didn't get in the way.

    Don't kid yourself tomiant. If a dog ever got the chance, he'd eat you and everyone you care about.

    You're thinking of cats. Who will eat their family's dead bodies. A thing that dogs will not normally do
