Reply to comment by Downtown_Tadpole_817 in TIL Helen Keller is credited with having introduced the Akita, a Japanese dog breed, to the United States by berkosaurus

I was attacked by one. They also have powerful jaws. The lacerations from the teeth hurt, but the bone soreness lasted a surprisingly long time.

I'm surprised more in this thread don't know about Akitas. They're mean af. One attacked my dog as well. Vets absolutely hate dealing with Akitas (which I learned from taking my dog to the vet for his stitches and antibiotics after the attack). They really shouldn't be kept as pets. Everybody who's experienced Akitas knows this.

They look like giants Shibas, but they are stronger than German Shepards. Really powerful dogs.
