Pit Bulls can be very dangerous, and get a lot of press. However, at least 25 different dog breeds have been responsible for dog-bite-related fatalities; although many of those fatalities were caused by Pit Bulls, other breeds like Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Huskies, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Akitas, and other large powerful breeds have also bitten and killed people. Many people are also bitten by Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers, largely because of the popularity of these dogs, and their prevalence in many households. Small dogs can also cause serious injuries, especially to small children.
