not all dogs bite their owners.. more owners are cruel to their dogs !!! I have had dogs all my life, different breeds, and have never, ever been bitten by a dog. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.. I personally don't care for cats. I don't hate them..just don't care for them. BUT don't think all dogs bite their owners just because you don't like dogs.

she is a Golden Retriever, they are a friendly breed with very little agression. She has been in stressful situations, like moving, around other dogs, other animals, etc. She is so sweet & gentle, she doesn't even bark !! Only when we hug each other in front of her and ignore her...lol. I have had dogs all my life, different breeds, in all kinds of situations, and have never been bitten once !! However I did get bitten and scratched by a domestic cat once, and ended up in the hospital with a swollen hand (cat scratch fever)

It's not that bad if you keep a dog as a pet. You may treat him as your companion. I admit that you cannot completely tame a dog but you can train them to be one.
