Idk man not every dog has strong predatory or pack insticts but most the ones that go around biting people do.
And people often do things in the moment and post rationalize as well. Some cheaters absolutely have anxiety, regret or complex emotions about it. Even the ones who don’t might hesitate to construct a lie or evaluate whether a partner’s response will be dangerous.

You really think that dog lacks a deep seated inclination to catch bodies? Even shih-tzu have it.

My reaction was mostly provoked by the “Dog would probably attack children”. It’s funny to me that, seemingly, lemmings are more eager to assume each single dog is a non senstient killing machine rather that it tried to protect it’s owner. xD
Most dogs have instinct to hunt prey, but like with humans, they can learn to overwrite them and most under good owners do. It’s werid to me when I see people immediately assume the dog is aggressive just because of one reported bite scenario, and that specific one at the same time. Like saying that a random person is overly aggresive because when you heard once that they hit someone.
