No cat has ever gone out of its way to attack me without provocation. Dogs
did twice when I was a child.

More people are killed by dogs every year in the U. S. than by sharks and
poisonous snakes combined. That clinches the cat versus dog debate for
me.

Well, there are "dogs" and there are "DOGS."

Everything from a tiny Peek-a-poo to a giant Rottweiler is counted as a
"dog". I, for one, regard the breeding of giant dogs for in-home use to be
goofy in the extreme. It's cruel to the animal, and can result in
disasters like you mention.

The equivalent in the cat world would be to try to keep a full-sized cougar
in your home -- which few are dumb enough to try.

With good reason, I might add. Back to my original point.
