Hello gevs 1966 - I don't think I strayed from rationality in my answer - but we may agree to differ on that point. The Question asked if attacks are the fault of the owners, or the dogs, and my answer underlines my point that it is the owners who are to blame - mainly for anthropomorphising their pet into some kind of gentle uncle-type figure, instead of a domesticated animal, which it is - up to a point, and only up to a point, which is the thrust of my answer.
