You don't have to take my word for it, just read this through.

No need to blame the victims.

It’s still extremely unlikely under normal circumstances. Serious attacks by non feral/mistreated dogs are still a freak incident. You’re about as likely to be killed by a lightning.

  • Under normal circumstances, infants spend essentially all of their time under the moderate supervision of an adult.

    • Which brings us back to the start of this sub-thread: "Never leave an infant/toddler alone with [dogs]."

      (So this whole discussion just went round in a circle.)
