Now consider there are 78 million dogs and 310 million humans in the US.
# of deaths compared to number of dogs. 1 dog related death per 2.3 million dogs.
# of deaths compared to number of humans. 1 human related death per 18,000 humans.
a child is 500X more likely to be killed by another human than a dog.
