When I was a 4 we had a *huge* black mastiff type dog. She was big enough that I would try to ride it. The poor thing would just lay flat on the floor until I'd give up. She was the gentlest dog I've known.

My mom, who is petite, would take her whenever she went out alone. The dog was well trained and never needed a leash (not that anyone, especially my mom, could hold her back with a leash). Anyways, young roudy men would cross the street to walk on the other side ;-)

So yes, I am not saying that personal protection dogs are unnecessary. I am saying that military grade dogs are not suitable for a civilian environment. For most people, a well trained American Bulldog is ample protection and a great choice.

As to the diet and bones and stuff, sorry, but she is being stupid about it. I've seen x-rays of sharp bones in dogs' intestines and they rip the animals internal as they pass through. And she wants to risk this why? Because in nature some dogs die of chewing on bones? Well in nature women die giving birth. Should we also ban C-section and maternal care?

Researchers who have examined the diet of wild wolves were surprised by how much fruit the wolves eat. If you want to know what diet mix an animal should have, look at their digestive track. Carnivores, e.g. cats, have short intestine to prevent meat rotting in their body and turning toxic. Herbivores have very long intestines to help breakdown the fibre. Omnivores such as dogs and humans have an in-between intestines.
