All large dogs are POTENTIALLY dangerous.

Some breeds are EXCEPTIONAL at violence once they are triggered to do so.

Training can reduce triggers (to zero?)

A poodle or golden retriever can absolutely hurt and kill, but it would be anomalous beyond expectation that a golden would continue to attack and even feed on a human.

Other breeds, once triggered, enter a state where they disengage from reason, latch, hold and tear. Depending on conditions they will even feed.
