A study by the University of West Virginia in the US has found that owners of ‘vicious’ dogs are more likely to commit vicious crimes themselves.

Owners of dogs classed by the American Kennel Club as breeds with a high risk of causing injuries to humans – i.e. vicious dogs were asked to take part in a questionnaire. The study showed revealed that American owners of vicious dogs were significantly more likely to admit crimes such as fighting people, vandalism, illegal drug use.

I wonder if this applies to Brits and their dogs?
