That bites.

Well, it stings, anyway.

She’s cute, though.

Her bite is worse than her bark.

“Yeah? Well, lucky for me you’re not unkickable…”

Ah another rare talking doggie. Where is you get one?

No, thank you. I can smell you just fine from here.

Why unlovable?

That’s the kind of bite that the victim would have to believe in order for it to hurt. Your choice.

Ouch. That dog needs a muzzle even more than a leash.

A woman asked my brother if his dog bites. “Well yes, he has teeth”……

Well, she hasn’t bitten anybody today…yet

This is clever and cute.

Ouch! Muzzle that dog! Far too passive aggressive!

Sticks and stones may break your bones,

But it’s words that really hurt.

Boy! She sounds like a real b****.

That is a beagle. They love everyone. This must be a real anomaly, but at least she is good at it.

Reminds me of a Peter Sellers Pink Panther scene…he walks into a hotel lobby, sees a dog, and asks the guy behind the desk “does your dog bite?” The guy says “no”. Sellers bends over to pet the dog, and it bites him. He says “I thought you said your dog doesn’t bite!” And the guy says…“that’s not my dog”
