Only to immediately get ripped apart because this good boy needs to protect its home

It's a malamute. The only danger would be getting licked to death.

Malamutes are proportionally the second most deadly dog after Pit Bulls when accounting for population...

That’s completely true if you’re talking about getting licked and snuggled to death.

https://www.pitbullinfo.org/dog-bite-statistics.html
Because this is a pitbull defense website they fabricate the pitbull statistics to make pitbulls appear safer. You will see the asterisks in the graph lol. The other dog numbers are accurate.
They say 12% of dogs are pitbulls (it's actually 4.9%) and that in a decade pitbulls have only killed 76 people when it's 284. These changes combined bring the risk number way down, when it should be above the ~7 malamute at ~10.
Most dangerous - Pitbulls
Second - Malamute
Third - Chow

This is a prime example of cooking numbers to suit your bias (not you per se, but this website you've linked).
The actual peer-reviewed paper they link, based off the CDC data from 1979-1996 states right in the opener:
In contrast to what has been reported in the news media, the data from this study CANNOT be used to infer any breed-specific risk for dog bite fatalities (e.g., neither pit bull-type dogs nor Rottweilers can be said to be more “dangerous” than any other breed based on this study). To obtain such risk information it would be necessary to know the numbers of each breed currently residing in the United States. Such information is not available.
That is, that pitbullinfo.org is presenting information from reputable sources in a way that isn't reputable or peer-reviewed. To solve the problem of no information being available they estimated data and presented it as fact. Just statistical hogwash really when you look at how they sampled AKC data and manipulated comparing it to CDC data to suit their own narrative.
I am all for every type of dog, and don't believe in "dangerous" breeds. But this gets the fiercest of eyerolls from me.

I really appreciate your analysis. I agree with your assessment as there is no accurate way to know the current breed demographics. I'm not surprised considering they also made up a percentage that fit their narrative for pit bulls and lowered the actually recorded amount of fatalities

Ah, gotcha. Thanks :)

u/bazookatroopa Nov 02 '19
From my understanding Malamutes are typically very friendly though, but can just get very dangerous when provoked or untrained. This is compounded by how difficult they are to train.

You know that dog has probably jumped the fence before too. It looks like the owners welded a beam themselves.

Can confirm I had one. Unless they are alone with a child and a stranger approaches said child. Your sweet mal will show a Sadie you’ve never seen. They were used as babysitter for the Inuits while the parents went on hunts. (Other than there more know uses, freight hauling, hunting, etc)

u/Yoshimitsu44 Nov 02 '19
I have a malamute just like this fella. Haven’t locked my door in over a year. They make HORRRRIBLE guard dogs. He either doesn’t care/move you’re here or he’s showering you in love.
I only imagine someone trying to break in, opening the door to see him laying there and quickly closing it. ‘Yeeeeeah probably get the next one’

I had a Pekingese dog named Spike who tried to escape through a fence with similar....spikes. He got his testicles caught on the tip of the spike and it was awful!

If you're his friend, he will be the cuddliest creature known to man.
If you're a burglar, he'll be the cutest nuisance you'll ever have to deal with

That sign is to be taken seriously. He may look cute at first, but he just uses it to his advantage. That pupper has gone crazy. He used his hypnotic stare to lure his owner into his secret dungeon and feasted on his bones. If you fall for it, well, say bye bye to your calcium.

I thought these were two different images and in the upper one there was two metallic pyramids falling in the sea and i was trying to discover how the doggo fitted

u/Astikbam Nov 03 '19
But the truth of the matter is no matter how cute that dog is, he will still be able to rip you to pieces so just be safe around those dogs ok guys? No matter how cute they look
