Agreed but dogs can attack and kill babies- it's on the news quite often as a headline. Usually it's a certain group of "dangerous" dogs?

Generally you find Muslims are scared of dogs because they've had no growing up with them. It can be scary if a dog comes up to you barking and you have no experience. Running away is I'm told the thing not to do!
Dogs are pack animals and see humans as pack, pack do not ususly harm/hurt there pack unless they are a vicious breed or have not been trained well as part of the pack. Puppies are taught by there mothers that biting of the pack is not acceptable, thus when humans by s puppy threy should continue this reinforcement. If you look at dog behaviour you will see a mother dog scold her puppies for biting and aggression. Dogs have an order in the pack and will not be aggressive to each other they merely snout and mouth. In most aggressive dog attacks it due to the human not training them right or delibrately training them to be aggressive. Ive worked with rescue dogs including ex police dog, and hsndled them. We had 60 dogs and a wolf ive never been bite once. Alot of the dogs had to be retrained because there previous owners mistreated. Aggression can also be caused by cruelity. If you are faced with an aggressive dog best you can do is yawn, remain calm and look away. Yawning to a dog shows you are relaxed and not bothered. Looking away also indicates that you wish not to fight. Shouting at a dog only reinforces aggression, you are raising your voice it's threatening, you body is tense and it can sense your anger. Thus the dog presumes you are a threat. Once my husband's friend brought around his dog my husband was nervous. Me I just stood my ground, looked around, titled my head and yawned a few times. Soon I became his friend and petted him Im good with reading dog language.
