What is something that is way more dangerous than people think it is?

Dogs. I love dogs and wouldn't trade mine for anything in this world, but they're also one of the deadliest animals for humans. In the US, fatalities from dog attacks have doubled in the last decade, with a large portion of that rise coming in the wake of Covid.

There are a lot of breeders who separate pups from their mothers too early, and a lot of owners who don't take the time to socialize their dogs. It creates a lot of behavioral problems that makes them potentially dangerous to others. And when untreated can lead to aggression. Couple that with the negligence of their owners, and it creates a very real threat to the neighborhood.

I've had so many kids run up to my dogs and try to pet them without permission, and there's so many ways that could've gone wrong. These kids don't realize that, to these dogs, they are total strangers. It doesn't register them to consider what it would be like if a total stranger ran up trying to touch you. Parents should definitely be teaching their kids to be careful around dogs they don't know
