25. As a lifelong dog owner and lover

You NEVER trust any dog period! That's exactly how these types of accidents happen...Any dog can potentially bite. They still have animal brains...not human's. Most dogs never bite...BUT...the possibility remains under the right set of circumstances....I have had my current dog 14 yrs and I have NEVER completely trusted him.
