According to statistics, and talking only about the US population, nearly 5 million people get bitten by dogs every year, bites that result to physical injury, and also very possible, human death. Victims that fall onto this are children and adult alike but to be even more specific, the most frequent victims of dog bite attacks are children, elderly people, and postal service carriers.
This article then aims to discuss the 3 most vicious Dogs, those that are more frequently involve in dog related attacks. There is no ranking I’ve given as they are all equally dangerous dogs, and they are:
Pit Bull (Weight: 55-65 lbs.)
Hailing from the the Molosser Breed Group, it is imperative to say that Pit Bulls are quite large, solidly build dogs having heavy bones and a short muzzle. Infamous due to their frequent involvement in many dog related attack cases, there are laws which require them to be muzzled in public and neutered for them to be even allowed to be in public at all. One can only imagine why were there would be such a law for a specific breed of dog.
As they were originally bred for Dog Fighting, pit bulls are fearless dogs that will take on any opponent, be it another dog or an intruding human.

Rottweiler (100-130 lbs.)
Originating from Rottweil, Germany(hence the name), rottweilers are medium to large size breed of domestic dog. They have powerful jaws due that their broad and strong allowing them to inflict scissor bites.
Known for their superimposed territorial instincts, Rottweilers can be very aggressive at times. This then is the reason why they are primarily meant to be guard dogs.

Wolf-Dog Hybrid (70-125 lbs.)
Just as their name suggests, these are dogs resulting from the mating of a wolf and a dog. Mainly because of this, they have a mixture of genetic traits which will result in a less predictable behavior pattern making them very aggressive at times.
Containing a mix of the wolf genetics, wolf-dog hybrids typically look for their kind as for their pack leader. That’s why human attacks by this dog breed is very possible.

These three specific Dog breeds combined to account for 73% of attacks that harmed children, 83% of attacks that injured humans, and 70% of attacks that resulted in death. This then was my only basis as to naming them the 3 most vicious Dog Breeds in the World.
It all boils down to proper training and handling for the part of the owners. Because when one buys any of these breeds as a pet, they are their responsibility. Just as dogs were meant to be dog companions, we should also find time to be a companion for them and not let it be a one-way relation. If we’re there for our dogs, surely they wouldn’t wander around acting aggressive and attacking people!
