I just dug up one of my books! Its called "The relationship between humans and dogs"
Its written by a woman who has a phd in human and animal Psychology.
She states:
"The relationship between human and canines reveals astonishing insights into why humans may choose different breeds"
"We find that people who own dogs who are aggressive, large in size or look threatening, even though they might not be, often have social inadequencies and tend to be quick to temper"
"These people are usually not the friendliest in society and the dog is a non-verbal queue to ward off contact from fellow humans"
"The relationship between large intimidating and aggressive dogs even goes further. Our study has shown that these people often have very little accomplishments and they see that possessing such an animal as a personal accomplishment which is envied by others." ↓
