IS X DANGEROUS?

Cataloging the world’s Dangers

Dogs are adult puppies. They are furry, weigh between just a handful of ounces and like, 400 pounds, and have some teeth inside their mouths. Some dogs are domesticated and some are not.

How dangerous a dog is depends on a variety of factors. A poorly trained, abused, or wild dog may be more likely to attack you, and that might even result in you contracting rabies. Most domesticated dogs, on the other hand, just want pets or walks.

If you find yourself in the position of having to fight a dog, it's probably best to try to get it to calm down by ignoring it and then slowly walking away. Hurting a dog sounds mean, even if they started it. Also, some dogs are trained by the cops to find you or hurt you—these are even worse than the wild kind.

However, if you encounter a domesticated pet dog, you might be able to pet it (ask whichever human it seems to be attached to), which might be quite pleasant.

Because dogs vary in their dangers wildly between situations, we consider dogs to be sort of dangerous.
