Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Guard dogs gain popularity as protectors. North York - Tammy; 6; and Christa; 3; never think twice about romping in their Mississauga backyard with their family pets. But given the right command; their German shepherds - Take A and Alice - could rip an arm out of the socket on an intruder or break an assailant's forearm with one bite.
