Subject: RE: What a bu11$#it statistic
If you live in Texas, as your post seems to indicate, you're all too aware of the number of people that have been seriously injured by dogs (mostly pit bulls, rottweilers, bullmastiffs).
While, to you, it may be an insignificant and trivial issue, if you've ever been on the receiving end of a dog attack, you'd have a whole different outlook.
Let me know what insurance agency you work for, so I make sure I don't do business with them.
