As I own (or is owned by) a Rottweiler, Jack, I really hate hearing about those stories where the "vicious attack dogs" kill somebody. But not every Rottie is like that...in fact, I bet the majority are not like that at all.
Jack has never gone after anyone, bit anyone or ever given the notion that he would do anything like that. I feel that I am a responsible pet owner and would not do anything that would put him in an uncomfortable position. He's skiddish around kids, so guess what? He is not left alone with kids. Some people don't understand that concept.
I also feel that kids - and adults - need to be aware of how to approach and be around dogs in general, not just Rottweilers. They don't understand that you can't just run up to an unfamiliar dog and put your arms around it. Ask the owner for permission to pet the dog, no matter what kind of dog it is.
And, why don't we hear more about the other breeds of dogs that injure and kill people? Total discrimination against Rotties and Pit Bulls! (As you can tell I feel very strongly about this!!)
