Oh, and for the record, I don't blame your father for shooting in self defense. That's completely justified in my book.
I understand the statistics. It still proves the same point. I can't imagine that the statistics would be any different if you put some sort of degree on the damage done. Obviously a small dog may bite more but the wound is much less and it is much easier to defend yourself.
