Munich – “Dogs that bark don’t bite” is a saying that is probably best known among animal lovers. What is meant is that the loudest dogs are the most harmless and only want to make an impression with their barking. But it is doubtful whether this saying is always true. After all, all dogs can bite – even barking ones. However, biting is usually the last resort for a dog to end a stressful situation.

A pound is about 0.45 kilograms, and a square inch is about 6.45 square centimeters.
In dogs, the strongest bite force is up to 745 PSI. In comparison, a human’s bite force is only about 120 to 140 PSI.
