	Dog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dogs, like humans, are highly social animals and pack hunters; this similarity in their overall behavioral design accounts for their trainability, playfulness, and ability to fit into human households and social situations.
		Dogs have lived with and worked with humans in so many roles that their loyalty has earned them the sobriquet "man's best friend." Conversely, some cultures consider dogs to be unclean.
		Molecular systematics indicate that the domestic dog is descended from a wolf-like ancestor.

	Fatal Dog Attacks: The Facts Behind the Statistics
		Despite enormous public and political interest in fatal dog attacks, there is no agency or organization that does investigative work (with the exception of this study) into each of the individual cases of fatal dog attacks and records the number and circumstances of fatal dog attacks on a continuous, yearly basis.
		Addressing the issue of severe and fatal dog attacks as a breed specific problem is akin to treating the symptom and not the disease.
		Severe and fatal attacks will continue until we come to the realization that allowing a toddler to wander off to a chained dog is more of a critical factor in a fatal dog attack than which breed of dog is at the end of the chain.

	All About Arizona Dog Bite Law
		Many states have a dog bite law that gives a dog "one free bite." In a one free bite state, the owner of the dog is not liable for damages caused the first time the dog bites a victim unless the owner knew or should have known that the dog had a propensity for violence.
		Dog bite insurance may be provided by homeowner's insurance, renter's insurance, landlord's insurance, dog owner's insurance or business insurance if the dog is owned by or under the control of a business such as a breeder or pet shop.
		Even if the person liable for a dog bite is a friend or member of the family of a victim, if there is sufficient insurance coverage, the friend or family member may not have to pay the damages out of his or her pocket because the damages will be paid by the insurance company.

	The Breed Issue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		It is important to emphasize that the breed of dog is never the sole determing factor in a fatal dog attack.
		A fatal attack is always the culmination of past and present events that include: inherited and learned behaviors, genetics, breeding, socialization, function of the dog, physical condition and size of the dog, individual temperament, environmental stresses, owner responsibility, victim behavior, victim size and physical condition, timing and misfortune.
		The last study done by the Centers for Disease Control (Breeds of dogs involved in fatal human attacks in the U.S. between 1979-1998) is frequently used as evidence to support breed specific legislation, despite the fact that the authors of this study clearly did not advocate BSL as a solution to preventing fatal dog attacks.
