Dog bites kill or seriously injure countless people, and a powerful dog could easily tear through a human. Dogs, by nature, are wild animals governed by their instincts.

Dogs have been around for thousands of years, protecting, and serving humans as loyal companions. Over the years dogs have learned through evolution that dogsare designed to serve and protect, to justify the needs of the human world, and have learned in exchange, that dogs will receive a home, and food, and some just don't respect that, people abuse the animal, and this is when a dog becomes angry.

Dogs are naturally born to be part of a social pack and have a lot of social interaction. When dogs became domesticated there social pack changed from other dogs to the members of the family that they were owned by.

Imagine a world where people were based off their race,family,religion or whatever makes them different. Imagine a world that bases you off of that information and bans you from somewhere or something just because of a stereotype.

People would be less likely to try to break into our house if we had a dog. Allowing me to get a dog would provide protection for me when I go out, and for the entire family at home.
