There are no such things as “resident” and “family” dogs. The difference is that people with common sense keep dogs OUTSIDE, where dogs belong, and dog freaks keep them inside the house and attempt to turn them into something they’re not, i.e., they anthropomorphize dogs.

If Karen Delise would extract her nose from some pit bull’s rear end long enough to do a little checking (God forbid!), she would discover that the overwhelming majority of dog attacks in the US (particularly those on children) occur INDOORS by the so-called “family dog” and could be prevented if people would simply keep their %*^^!$# dogs OUTSIDE!

Back before people began trying to humanize dogs and kept their fleabags outside, dog attacks on children were almost nonexistent. For example, from 1940 until 1970, only five children in the US were killed by the so-called “family dog” and these dogs were owned by dog freaks who had no better sense than to allow dogs inside the house. In the 21st century, hardly a day passes that we don’t read or hear about a child being attacked and badly injured or killed by the family dog.

People today are taken in by the multi-billion-dollar dog industry that airs TV commercials, etc. claiming dogs are “members of the family” and other nonsense.

The fact is that a dog’s normal body temperature is MUCH higher than that of a human being, which means that a comfortable indoor temperature for a human being is decidedly uncomfortable for a dog. Add to this the fact that breathing dehumidified air causes respiratory problems in dogs and the fact that large dogs confined in cramped spaces become frustrated and you have a recipe for disaster. Additionally, if the dog in question happens to be an aggressive breed such as a pit bull, you may as well bring home a stick of dynamite, place it on the mantle above the fireplace and trust it not to explode.
