That thumbnail SHEEEEESH

My dad had a Cane Corso that saved him from a bear attack. She had a super deep bark but would rub herself up against any person she met and was very gentle with children.

I lost my dogo argentino the last week of October 2022. Abby was without question, the most emotionally developed and loving, intelligent dog. A couple weeks before she passed, a man was having a mental breakdown and came on our property and despite her showing aggression he ran up to her seeking protection and i was able to keep her from protecting us and physically attacking him by simple command of "stand down". Despite the event being so stressful and seemingly a justifiable moment that called for a protective attack - she understood and followed direction perfectly. The BEST dog I have ever known or kept. Agree that you must be a qualified owner that understands this breed. (*The thumbnail of dog holding a pine cone as if its thw dogs teeth = 🤣😂)

I got a Rhodesian Ridgeback 6 years ago as a 2 year old and she has been wonderful. I found her at the dog pound where her previous owner had relinquished her. She was a wild one when I first adopted her, and I began strict training on day 2. Now she lives calmly with my 4 cats and goes with me everywhere. While she is great with most people, she has shown a protective aggressiveness towards men that she deems to be a threat. She also doesn't tolerate very many other dogs when we are out in public. I have to be firm with her at all times since she will still test me from time to time. Overall, she is a great dog but would be difficult for an inexperienced owner to handle.

We had a Boerboel, Jessie, she saved my daughter from being attacked by an Egyptian Cobra. She jumped between the snake and my daughter, as the snake was ready to strike. The snake’s fangs went right through the soft flesh of her cheek. That saved Jessie’s life because all the venom was sprayed in the open air without entering her body. It angered Jessie even more and she threw the snake high up in the air, ending up killing it, and saving my daughter’s life. Sadly she passed away a few years later from cancer.What a legend.

I was attacked by chows that lived on my street, and my childhood spaniel wound up saving my life. Forever thankful for him.

I’m South African and the way you pronounced “boerboel” was so cute and polite…

Moral of the story, a dog is as dangerous as their owner's negligence. I appreciate the emphasis he put in training and socialization. Many people will address these dog as "dangerous breeds you should never own". Any of these breeds can be perfectly safe yet unfortunatley you should always be wary when you encounter one. You never know if the owner raised them properly.

I had an alaskan malamute. Sweetest boy, only surprised me twice. Snatching a bird from a bush and by pushing me away from a person and keeping himself between me and that other person. Found out later that person had ended up going to jail for murder later that year, go figure. Glad I and my family trusted my dog

It's also noteworthy that most of these were never really intended as pets for anyone other than someone with a very specific job or purpose. A lot of these are bred to be guard dogs and they do their job well

loved this video,i had the great honour of owning an american staffordshire terrier ,female and she was black and white exactly like the dog in the video,she was very very strong ,very bulky too lol i loved her to bits ,a great protector for my family ,for me ,a beautiful mum 2 ,she loved my family and was extremely protective over my family and over me..some breeds i hadnt even heard of ,but was happy when american staffordshire terrier came in at number 2,and love cane corso too,black as night

Very important information when thinking of owning a dog such as those breeds. Thank you.

I had a pure bred Alaskan Malamute. extremely smart, sweet as honey, kindest dog you ever met, very high energy, submissive, loyal. I was lucky and was able to dedicate her entire first two years to training on a daily basis, while I was in college. having those first two years with her all the time created the connection that allowed any training traits I wanted her to possess. never bit anyone

We got an Amstaff and he is the most loyal, affectionate, patient, and loving to us, to our relatives, and friends. If we meet strangers outside he observes our behavior first if he sense that we are ok and the stranger is nice to us he is friendly. If he knows we don’t feel comfortable with the stranger he keenly kept watch; his eyes are the only ones that moves while he stay still. He saves my dad from 2 heart attacks. We noticed that he senses someone is sick one week before the person show symptoms. He is a life saver. We always kiss him and we say “ I love you “ all the time. He was a rescue dog from a shelter. It is NOT the breed that gives a dog a bad reputation it is how the dog get trained. It was mentioned many times from this video that the dogs were “ trained to be a watch dog “ or “ for dog fighting “.

Having owned three Alaskan Malamutes at one time I don’t agree with them being aggressive. They are strong willed for sure and need an experienced owner but to me no other dog comes close. I adore this breed.

I have owned five Dobermans' over forty years and have taken the time and effort to train them. They are high energy and intelligent. None have ever been aggressive. The breed is exceptional. The most aggressive dog I ever owned were the Dachshund aka the badger hound.

Explaining the thumbnail to those who haven’t seen the pictures before: The one on the left is a muzzle. You can tell because the top of the snout is covered, and there is a hard transition line. The one on the right is a cute pup holding a pinecone.

When my son was 8 years old, he was mauled by a Rotweiller. The dog was being trained as a guard dog and jumped the owner's fence. I completely blame the owner for not having a high enough fence. Any aggressive breed should be properly confined for the safety of others, especially children. It should have never happened.

I feel like the personality of the dog is more equivalent to the owner more than to its breed

The thumbnail is hilarious. The dog on the right literally has a pinecone in its mouth that looks like teeth and the one on the left just has a designed muzzle on XD

I have an American Staffordshire Terrier rescue and she is the most gentle girl. The rescue said she was aggressive with other dogs and small children, but she fits in well with our two American bulldogs. She hasn’t shown one bit of aggression with small kids either. I believe it’s how you train them and introduce them to a new environment. A five pound Pekinese can be deemed an aggressive breed. I have zero regrets adopting my Staffie… she is the biggest cuddle bug and the daily dog piles with her brothers are the best

When I was a boy my mom bred and raised Pekingese for years, and she had only one male who was aggressive, and only when his food was being messed with. The females especially were sweet and did just fine with small children and other dogs. The males were always a bit standoffish, but never aggressive toward kids or dogs. I'm surprised to see it here, but then breeders have been screwing up dogs, inbreeding to gain certain "award" characteristics and sometimes totally screwing up their personalities, so Pekes might be a whole different critter since the 1960s.

Really liked this video. I had a "fila brasileiro" back in the 80s, and that dog was so violent we had to return her to the kennel from where we got her originally. Once this dog is on the war path, that's it for the victim... They attack with no prior notice. You need to have it from 3 months of age and be able to exert full control over the animal, or else you might be in danger.

The cane corso descends from the Roman legionary’s dog,they were very common in Italy tell the 20th century and only after ww2 saw a resurgence in population. It was not breed to attack mountain lion it’s not an American dog,it’s Italian. It was used for a number of purposes,big game hunt body guard etc

I have had many dog breeds during my life to include the Boxers, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Anatolian Shepherds, Great Pyrenees and truly believe it is all in how you raise them and being educated on their specific breeds/history of origin/purpose. While protective, they were responsibly raised, respected and knew I was the Alpha at all times - which is crucial with ANY breed of dog.

We had a chow chow mixed dog, he was HUGE, orange and had short hair but kept the curled tail. He was very protective and always took point when any of us were walking places in the yard.. how awesome is that? RIP Teddy. My brother

This video is very informative. A very key point is that a lot of these dogs are a certain way with regards to their owner and their owner's 'property', including children. A lot of people don't understand dogs and this video highlighted that each dog has particular training, exercise and social needs that many owners don't have the first clue about, they just wanted 'the fluffy blonde one'. Then trouble starts when their sweet dog does something unexpected.

“Herk “ was my replacement for Mouse, my wolf/shepherd mix.. he was malamute/shepherd mix. He was a great dog with an admirable sense of smell. I trained my dog, around 150lbs , as a 75lb child. Me and Herk did everything together….but just like me Mouse, we moved and he became, just another casualty of urbanization. I was told that “Herk” became a great sled dog….I spent many years believing this to be truth. But then I found out that my best friend had just been abandoned…. My heart breaks because as little as we had, I would have eaten less if my dog could have stayed as my companion… I’m trying, but failing, to present an honest opinion. “Mouse” was not exactly “personable”…I was his person….and he protected me to the point of him receiving beatings for attacking my dad as he tried to administer beatings to me…Mouse spent a lot of his time being s wolf…. Any being brought to him was his responsibility, but chicks ands bunnies, his down fall, were totally out of his cont

I had a cross between and R. Ridgeback and Doberman, he was not an aggressive dog at all but he had a deep bark which was very imposing.

I had a Akita. The best dog that I ever had. Very smart and extremely loyal. Got him as a puppy and he lived 14 years. I loved my Majar.

One of my good friends lost 1/4 of her calf to a Sharpei. As she was picking up the mail, the dog approached her WITHOUT A SOUND and sank its teeth into her leg, and did not let go despite her screams. She was very traumatized and had to have therapy, emotional as well as physical. She wore nothing but pants from then on because of the scar. She often spoke of getting surgery to "fill " the missing part of her calf, and I hope she did. Some dogs just aren't meant for weak or irresponsible owners

I have a Pitbull Staffordshire Terrier, he's so intimidating to most people, but he's the biggest sweetie. He wouldn't hurt a fly.

I would adopt all these dogs because my job is to train dogs that were used in dog fights to become lovable house dogs and I have not failed yet, all it takes is a lot of love and a love of commitment.

Coinnie: the music: Connie: ROF ROF ARF ARF😂

What I like the most about this video i where you see clips with the little Jack Russell showing absolutely no fear with these massive dogs xx

I have a chowchow and he's still with me for 12 years. Chows are aloof dogs, but teaching them early on how to interact with strangers and other kids made them the sweetest pets ever. Also, they're smart and will protect u in danger ☺️

I have/had three Chinese Shar Pei and I can't see myself with any other breed. Best guard dogs, very protective of their owners, great with children, funny and loving. Early training and socialization is a MUST, as should be with all breeds.

I have a dogo argentino and he is so sweet.He loves to cuddle and is attached to his owner.He really loves people and company.It's all how you teach him

I’ve had a dog that was a Doberman and she was so sweet and loyal it’s just sometimes dogs can get misunderstood :(

I also have a wolfdog, he just turned a year old in February and he is awesome, all he wants to do is play and wants me to pet him all the time. He loves everyone.

I lived in a neighborhood in the country when I was a teenager and all us kids would roam everywhere and the neighborhood had a lot of dogs that roamed around and those dogs protected all of the smaller kids. The female doberman named Doza was a very very nice dog but was relentless when she protected the kids from everyone even the parents. Lol the parents could not punish them when Doza was around and the older people in the neighborhood could not fight or anything because she would stop us when we was drinking

I have a pit but he's such a sweetie every time someone walks in the door he barks but then he's like. PLAY WITH ME PLAY😂😂😂

A black boerboel showed up on our porch at mid night. It’s easy to say that we were terrified (we being me and my brother). We weren’t sure what to do so we very slightly opened the door to see how he was with people. He was actually such a sweet dog that you wouldn’t even be able to imagine, he didn’t mind us and came for pets. We were really careful with checking his collar and called up his owner.

It’s so sad people use any breed for evil reasons. And, it’s very scary when someone doesn’t research the breed too. Those CSVs are SO cute! I’ve always had German Shepherds, and they’ve all had a really high prey-chase drive. I couldn’t imagine one crossed with a wolf haha.

So for all breeds of aggressive dogs giving all of them the right love,care, attention,respect and home can also help them to control their behavior.

I've had a couple chows & several doberman pinschers, & been around tons of pit bulls. For 99% of all dogs no matter their breeding it's how they are raised & treated. Had very little trouble from my chows & very little from my dobies. Doberman is my favorite breed. Super smart & mostly easy to train. They can be comical around family. Alert & athletic with a graceful & regal look. Lol. Yes indeed my favorite. I've heard them described as "Velcro" dogs due to them wanting to be as near to their owner as possible. They do need exercise & things to do. They kind of consider it their job to make their person as happy as they can all day.

Geezz, never imagine Chowchow will be in the list!

I have a dog that's a mix of 7 breeds, we adopted him. He had been abandoned in a rental home for a while. We got him DNA tested and he's a Siberian Husky/Alaskan Malamute/Chow Chow/Rottweiler/American Staffordshire Terrier/Boxer/American Bulldog mix. He's got a deep bark and most people cross the road when we walk him, but he's an absolute sweetheart.

The ads are killing meee😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

When I was a kid, we had a yellow lab/wolf cross. He was the sweetest boy. Everyday when my class had recess, he would come to play with me. I am legally blind and was bullied the entirety of my time at that school. It was awful. He was always there and forever will be my first fur baby.

Owned a cane Corso and it was one of the better dogs. Good with kids, loyal to a daughter, had separation issues. Loved her to death

This list really surprised me. There are many other breeds that are truly banned in most countries for various reasons. As others have said, if you are going to have ANY animal, YOU are responsible for training and ensuring the safety of your animal and those around you. I did large dog senior rescue for 20 years.... the most problematic were not because of ther breed, but due to abuse, neglect and being trained to be vicious. From your video I have had the following: Chow Chow - definitely sketchy even when trained, would not have again Pekingeses = sweetest little furbabies every, but very headstrong and require training Cane Corso - lap puppy and could detect seizures, adopted at 7, he became quite unpredictable around 9 (old age senility we think) Shar-Peis & Shar-Pei/Bloodhound - have had several, definitely require training and supervision, but can be love bunnies with adults, don't like being "poked" so playing with kids was not a thing we did Akitas - biggest love muffins, but trained from puppies, great with kids, other dogs...while being fiercely protective - must have an Alpha owner The BEST FAMILY BIG dog ever has to be the Newfoundlands (Newfi), we loved ours We had a Maremmano d'Abruzzese,Cane da pastore Maremmano d'Abruzzese (125lbs at 10 months) for a 600 acre woodland farm...had to move to 3 acres, way too small,l got bored...rehomed to 1200 acre ranch.... BOTTOM LINE: YOU must be responsible, do your research and train any animal you bring home. Volunteer to foster some dogs for a while, so you can judge temperment. We did and we decided, Dobermans and Chows were not for us. You could NEVER turn your back on the Doberman. Our English Bulldogs were adorable, but multiply by 20 what you think you'll spend a year on them (vet, special food, chew toys, orthopedic beds... .the list goes on ) - plus as cute as they are they often pee in their sleep, snore like a freight train and they really don't like backing up...they would rather go through whatever is in front of them.

That thumbnail is just a photo of a dog biting a pine cone. XD I remember that photo in a funny animals vid.

The second image on the right of the thumbnail is literally just a dog, biting a pinecone😂

My Dobermans were such sweethearts. It all depends on how you raise them up

I once have a cane corso and he's very protective. One time robbers came to the house but was attacked by my dog (Carnage) one of the robbers bled to the death and the other was rushed to the hospital. I really love him he's not harmful to me and my family

I’ve had/have six of these breeds over the years. I just got a Boerbel Coco two weeks ago she’s 3 months old and her paws are massive. She is great with kids and other dogs. Make sure we socialize her with other dogs and because we have kids I make sure they are fully trained in training the pup.

❤ I love all of these breeds, I had 2 sister Filas from the same litter. They were awesome, very protective and only friendly with a few that I had socialized them with... awesome guard dogs. I had them from baby babies until they passed away@11. Now I have 2 same litter English Sisters, they are also excellent guard dogs, but not as vicious.❤

Cane Corso as the last in the list surprised me a little.. I once stayed in a friend's house for a week, and I was left alone in the house with this huge beast of a Corso for a few hours everyday until my friend returned from work... it was scary until I met the animal, they're the biggest sweethearts you can imagine. It really depends on the individual dog I believe, just like with people, cats, cows, pigs etc.. Each individual has it's own character.

Two of the best Dogs I have ever had the pleasure to be part of my family were a Rodisian Ridgeback and a King Doberman. They are very loyal and loving. Dogs often reflect the owner. I would not hesitate to own one again.

Awesome video

Title: most banned dogs in the world Thumbnail: one dog holding a pinecone

Firstly I am from South Africa, which is where the Boerboel got it's name, and the way you say it is hilarious to me. Secondly, I have had Boerboels all my life, I have grown up with them from when I was a baby, and they are so loyal and gentle, but also follow commands. Love them and a dogs aggression is really based on how they are raised and treated.

Dogs don't grow up to be tyrants! It's how they are raised and treated by their owners that makes them who they are! There are no bad dogs, just bad owners!

I went to my moms friends house and she had a Rhodisen Ridgeback and a baby and that was one of the most calm dogs i have ever met

I had a Turkish Kangal. Very good herding dogs. He was fearless bark snakes away and chase raccoons and other animals away. Scare bears and kept lions away. It was very tactical and skilled and loved herding the animals. It also would patrol around my yard and was on alert and stayed in the barns or in the open. It would climb on top of the chicken coop to over look the barns and even climb up the actual horse barn to check the property. I would find him up high on the building just sitting there looking out into the field then he would howl if he spotted a bear or let me know of wild animals. My only concern was the coyotes pack that would try to lure him away from the walls but he knew better to not run towards them or go away from the walls. He was very good at his job even when he died on the barn. He died at age 17. I had to get a ladder and my family helped me get him down. he died overlooking the skies and fields. very loyal and dedicated dog. I didn't realize he was a ban dog breed here in U.S.A or just a ban dog breed in general.

Growing up my uncle owned large properties and in his home , he had 2 Akita’s & 3 Great Danes that lived under the same roof and did amazing together and with socializing with people and each other. But then again it does come back to how they’re raised

I found the new view of the dogs very accurate and I found it very entertaining

I have a dog, and his name is White Castle. He is a golden doodle and he very calm and laid back and shows no aggression. Whenever he sees dogs that are out of control, he barks and protects me. I get scared and tense when I see dogs that are scary and aggressive since I have a fear of those kind of dogs. But luckily for me, my dog always makes sure that I don’t get hurt. One time, I almost got bit my a dog, and my dog defeated me. He bit the other dog and ripped his face off. After that, he came to me to see if I was okay, and I was thankfully.

lmao it took me a while to realize the dog in the thumbnail had a pinecone in its mouth and not a set of shark teeth

Ive got a chow-chow X shar-pei, I adopted him at a year old. Could not ask for a better dog. People are petrified of him, with reason, but to us he is the most patient undemanding dog ever. He just came to lick me while all the dog sounds on the video was playing. It took me a lot of time to become a good owner. These dogs really are not for sissies or kids.

I have a friend with 2 Boerboels, they are total sweethearts who are more likely to jump on someone out of friendly excitment than aggression, hilariously the bigger of the two (fittingly named Odin) is a complete lapdog who likes snuggling up to you when sitting on the couch. just goes to show not to judge dogs simply by their breed but by how they were raised

I own a Nealpolition Mastiff, His name is Boba, He's 8 months old. He's GIGANTIC and SUPER CUTE! I love him so much!

When showing chow-chow some of those were actual chows but some presented as chows were actually Tibetan mastiffs. Also I don't think banning dog breeds is the answer. As they put more and more breeds to be banned eventually all breeds will end up being illegal to own. In some places even greyhounds are banned. And its usually the owner not the dog.

I had a chow chow that was all black his name was Bear. He was the best dog I've ever had RIP Bear

THANK you guys

In rescue I’ve seen a few ridgebacks, people get rid of them due to their high energy. People can’t handle them. However, the ones I’ve come across were very sweet. Dobermans are some of the sweetest dogs, I adore them. It’s really how you raise them. Same with rotties, our rot was the sweetest dog I’ve ever had. She was even badly bit on her tongue at the vet by a chihuahua who drew blood. She just looked at it, like why don’t you like me. She only disliked two people out of the many friends I had. But she wasn’t aggressive towards them. She would just sit in front of me, but showed no aggression. My parents used to show malamutes, and they too were absolute dolls. They would pull my parents on a sled in the winter. Again, it’s all how you raised them. My parents always wanted to keep their dogs inside. However, they refused to stay inside, especially in the winter. They loved staying out side, and would bury themselves in the snow. My parents hated keeping them outside. But the dogs refused to come indoors. Friends of ours have a wolf hybrid. It’s a very sweet dog, however, I personally do not think they should be allowed to own. They’re too unpredictable. I love them, but I worry about them. I never want to hear about any pit, in rescue. I had seen at least 1,000 pits. We had one that was dangerous. However, I have a pit myself whose a doll. I’ve also fostered pits and I adore them. I’ve also never seen problems with any cane corso. While I’ve only came across maybe 10 in the rescue all were very even tempered, and so lovable. All and all I don’t agree with a lot of the dogs on this list being dangerous. However, chihuahuas I’ve come across in rescue were alway aggressive. But, mainly due to fear, upon working with them and gaining trust they can be worked with. Hounds and chihuahuas were the two breeds I was attack by. Lmao a lot of little breeds get cranky due to fear.

I had a Stafford shire terrier named "oreo", she was extremely stubborn, very protective, needed constant supervision around children but fair to developing tolerance in public areas around people and other dogs (on leash) due to allowing her to socialize at a younger age, but given proper care and attention and a thick ass tug rope she was a loving house pet, did her job well as guard dog and never gave me any trouble.

Having had a German Shepard-Chow mix I can say with confidence that socialization definitely helped my dog. However, the mail man would say “what do you have in there? A lion?” After seeing our dog go berserk at the door lol 😆.

I have three Cane Corso’s 2.5 year old female sisters from the same litter and a 1 year old male from different parents. They live freely with me and my wife. Never had any issues and hopefully we’ll never have any mishaps. They are socialized and behave well in public.

Me looking at the thumbnail: That’s a freaking PINECONE!

Love the video!! My grandmother had a Chow Chow when we were young. He was rather large and would jump her 6" fence when the garage door opened to greet her! I was shocked to see that they were the #2 most banned dog!!!

Cane Corso is the most memorable breed ive ever had in my family, such a sweet big breed, not violent at all. They are very good with children and very family protective, saved us from burglars twice! Thats not all but Cane's have an amazing memory, one of our cane's was mistreated by a man and when he was full grown he still remembered that guy after not seeing him for years. So honestly to me cane's are wrong to be on the first place here, in fact they are very reliable, predictable (if you understand them) trusty companions. There are a lot more breeds that require more attention to domesticate the right way. I still have the Urns of my Cane's, very highly intelligent powerfull breed, great family dog that can also be kept as a guard dog. I trusted mine with my life, they were trained but its def not the most difficult breed ive worked with, on the contrary. if treated right they're just big sweet cuddlebears. Now we have a pomeranian and staffy in our family, the staffy is a sweetie sometimes stubborn but theres not a single bit of violence in her (unless if its to protect the family), we have a 2 year old son and both are doing amazing with him. The staffy really really likes the cuddle-attention My father in law had a big fear of staffies, ours changed his mind, he passed away but our staffy became his best friend. That often happens here, once people meet our dogs they often get a diff opinion about them. Its all about how you treat/train them, id say 99% of the dog accidents the dog isnt at fault. Breeds shouldnt be banned, some people should be banned to have them. And well some breeds just arent for you..., like i wouldnt want a border collie in my family just because i dont have the space that breed requires. Same with huskies, i love them but i wouldnt want one where i live now (space + climate). ive had and trained dogs my entire life

8:00 that bark sent shivers down my spine

I have a 80 lb American Staff. Terrier. And he is all muscle and a lot of energy. When he was a puppy he lacked some of the training areas that he needed. So that's why sometimes he gets over excited when someone comes over and such. But overall he's a loving great dog and will protect you for sure.

I had a Cane Corso she passed last year. Best dog I ever owned! Sweetest nature you can find❤❤❤

ALL dog fights need to be banned in every country. It's cruel and abusive . I do have an Argentine Dogo and he is the most gentle soul . We found him starving in the street. He has been with us for several years now with 7 more dogs that we took in from abusive situations. All our dogs are friendly, but do guard our house well.

One is a muzzle, the other is a pine cone 🤣

My dog doesn’t bite… The dog:

Story time: my dad knew a girl with a cane corso and whenever he would go to her house it would get super excited and pee on him, cool dog apparently, just huge and excited

I’ve been attacked by dogs twice in my lifetime. Once when I was 8 years old by a Rottweiler who escaped from the neighbor’s back yard, and the second time by two pitbulls whose owner couldn’t hold onto the leash. Needless to say, I avoid these types of dogs now.

This is awesome 👌

Lol I love how the right one is just a pine cone

My friend owned a Doberman and he was so gorgeous and kind. I was a stranger and he didn't care, he let me pat him and never growled. He wasn't even socialised since they live in far country but he did have a sausage dog companion which is adorable. He had uncut ears which makes Doberman look less scary too

I had a dog who was a mix of doberman and Rhodesian ridgeback. She was a good dog. Number 17+18 on this list. I thought she just LOOKED scarey, but I didn't think she was very dangerous under normal circumstances.

Thumbnail maker: ima just get a picture of a dog with a Pine cone in its mouth and call it dangerous

In the block where I live an owner let his doberman loose to charge down the stairs, probably to take it out for a walk, I was just below the 3rd floor walking down, so I froze when I heard claws of a large dog on the concrete charging down the stairs behind me. It charged past me, seconds later the owner came running down and saw me from behind standing still on the stairs and ordered me to stay still for a moment as he when to catch up with the dog. In a block, that was a scary experience. I didn't think it was lawful for the owner of such a dog to let it freely roam unleashed like this *in a block.* Growing up I've been bitten by a doberman as I walked along a sidewalk past a gate - it lunged forward and took a chunk out of me. Happened so fast. Landed me in the local A&E for treatment.

The first dog I ever owned was an American Akita. He was a handful, but he was fiercely loyal to my wife, kids, and me. He hated other children and had to be put in a kennel when other kids were around. He was really intelligent too. And he could go from a dead sleep to a bark and howl that would wake the dead if someone disturbed his territory.

My neighbor had a fila brasileiro, the dog knew me and I had contact with the dog pretty often, one day it escaped from my neighbor's house, I tried calling my neighbor but he didn't answer, the dog came close to me and I tried to grab it, but a truck passed by and scared the dog, the dog bite me in both of my hands and released the grip almost instanly. the dog was even bigger than I am but I was really lucky that it was just a little bite, none the less, I had a open wound but luckily nothing really bad for a fila bite, it could've gone waaay worse. I learned a lesson that day, don't trust dogs that aren't yours, even if they know you for years.
