For anyone who caught me on Pit Bulletin Legal News Radio, here is the link to the information on the 2012 fatalities, as well as links to similar data from Don's organization, the NCRC and Jim's info as well.

Thanks for listening to the show.
Great show, Brent. You and Don (and Jim Crosby)seem to pretty much be on the same page that there is no method to track dog bites by breed in any reliable manner and that the rate of deaths has not increased over the years. Also, it came across succintly that the reasons are pretty clearcut when it comes to the whys and wherefores of serious bites or deaths caused by dogs. The owner, the owner and the owner. And taking precautionary measures when children, elderly people or less able people are around dogs and especially large dogs.
Thanks for taking the time to join in on the discussion on the PBLN website. I'm glad that Fred pointed out that KC Dog Blog is one of the best there is to follow dog law issues.
