That and if one wants to cite the most deadly animal to mankind, excluding his fellow man, it would be Fido, or Rex, or . . .. That's correct I think it would be man's best friend. For example for 1979 to 1988 dogs caused at least 332 human deaths in the US alone. http://enhs.umn.edu/current/6120/bit...bitefatal.html
Over the same period the number of deaths in the US due to great white shark attacks was 3. http://www.jawshark.com/great_white_...untry_usa.html
