  I hear the Labradors and Newfoundlands roam free in their respective lands, but it may be a Canadian fairy tale.

  but often its just that dogs are wild animals.
  
  No, they're not. They're domesticated animals.
  
  Other dogs simply cant be trained.
  
  Do you have any evidence for that idea?
  
  Some examples of what Im talking about. Its clear in all these instances, the dog was extremely well trained and looked after:
  
  At least two of those are the same incident.
  Also, how is it clear the dog was "extremely well trained?" None of the stories I looked at say a single thing about training. They just say family dog, which means a dog owned by the family. It denotes nothing about training, care, etc.
  No one said dogs are saints. Dogs, however, are not responsible for being dogs. If you step on a dog's tail, it may whip around and bite you. Doesn't mean it's an untrained wild animal. It means you stepped on his tail and he had a perfectly natural response.
  If a toddler grabs at a cat from the front, toddler is likely to get scratched. That's ok. That's how they learn you don't grab at a cat from the front. It's not the cat's fault. It's the parents' fault for not protecting the cat and teaching/watching the kid. Cat is just establishing a boundary for its own protection.
  I'm not sure what would change your view here. No one said dogs are saints. >
  
  Yeah dogs have been domesticated for over 30,000 years, not wild animals. This guy I worked with when I was younger once asked me where dogs were wild (I forget how he worded it), but basically he thought Rottweilers were just roaming in the wild somewhere.
