Beyond all that, city dogs are supposed to repel burglars and muggers; high-crime areas now teem with Doberman pinschers and German shepherds. But who protects the innocent from the protectors? Last year Tokyo recorded about 5,000 complaints of dog bites from newsboys, mailmen, salesmen and bill collectors. New York's bite toll hit 25,000.
