not defending any dog attack but in the U.S golden retrievers have attacked and killed more children in the past 10 years than any other breed you just don't hear about it as its not considered a vicious breed. jut like you don't hear about the people who kill other people with a bow and arrow . It does not have that shock factor.. the news reports any mix breed as a pit bull .. dog attacks are the result of poor ownership .. any breed can bite and kill i can get a link to a pomeranian the mauled and killed an infant about 5 years back.. i think people should need licenses to own a man stopper breed or a bully breed. all attacks are very sad
