I haven't read the story, but if it's about dogs being more likely to bite if they are bigger, that is NOT true! It just depends on the dog AND the owner! From doing the grooming, so far all of the dogs that have bit at us and have had to be muzzled were all small dogs! (except one medium sized one--probably 40 lbs). And I agree with Souraya, people should keep their kids out of somebodys yard!! It's not fair--if your dog is in your backyard, minding it's own business, some kids jumps over your fence, starts poking sticks in the dogs face, and the dog defends itself and bites--the dog will be blamed!
