Of course not. I'd bet that 50% of dogs owned by crazy old ladies who have created an evironment (i.e.: babied, spoiled) for their shitty little lap dogs result in more bites, per capita, than Rottweilers. Little old ladies, small dogs, etc. He wouldn't hurt a fly. Bullshit: they're snappy as hell and the old bat is delusional, forgiving their transgressions.
Similarly, to a lesser extent, are the 'regular' folks who think their Dalmation/Lab-mix/Husky/etc. isn't a man-eater, even if it nipped the neighbor kid.
I've owned Rottweilers, French Mastiffs, and black labs. I can see the first two being intimidating, but when overly protective moms at the lake freak out when my 110# black lab is wagging his tail and licking their kids face? It's a F***ING BLACK LAB!!! If you don't want the arguably BEST breed to touch your kid, stay the fuck away from it, mom.
Obvious example where a black lab is ridiculous (imo) to be a threat on it's own property, but dude's dog was on his own property. IMO, the dog was shot simply to reduce threat/aggravation on the cop's part based on breed. Turrible. And likely expensive, eventually, for him personally and the department.
