^Animals are all inherently unpredictable, to degrees.

From the dept. of fwiw, as a 3 year old child I was bit in the ankle by a domesticated german shepard. The owners insisted that I did something to provoke the dog but i was standing motionless at the time the dog attacked. It required something like 20 stitches to repair the damage.

A neighbor has a huge St. Bernard and it has some serious aggression issues. It will rear and put its face in yours and bark or even threaten to bite, along with over 200 lbs. of force on your shoulders with no notice. I’ve seen it done to others and to myself. The owners think the aggression is cute and harmless. I think the dog should be put down.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been a dog owner much of my life but dogs can make aggressive gestures for no apparent reason. Cats do the same. Breeds that exhibit this trait should not be in social settings unless they are muzzled.
