gentlemen, think big picture. empathy for a canine bite victim is answer to nothing.

Generalized example, as you asked of me:
a 5 1/2′ tall man, 165lbs, trained in military tactical security, could be forced in to room with an armed military soldier, 6’5″, 220lbs. The 5 1/2′ tall man is clearly undersized and outmatched, yet, could kill with bare hands and proper training.

to insist a poodle is no more dangerous than the next dog, simply because of comparative jaw width, is absurd.

i generally shy away from these types of discussion because people in general are so impassioned by years of ingrained garbage. an infant mauled to death by an animal is no more desirable, than a baby born to a misfit, uneducated child.

appreciate the responses, but they both strike me as people who have little to no experience with dogs.
