Can we keep it on topic?

I think the point here is that some things (large dogs, guns, 600hp cars, any Mustang) need a little more care in ownership than others and many people don't give them the extra care that is necessary and, when bad things happen, the incidents make the news quickly, as our media is prone to sensationalizing certain news.

"Assault rifle shoots school kids"
"Mustang runs over 30 people leaving Cars and Coffee event!"
Back to your specific needs, if you wish to have a dog tag along with you semi-supervised wherever you go, and you wish to be able to bring it over to the GF's house and get along with the 2 Mexican ankle killers, you're probably better off with a pretty low-key dog. A large dog, or a dog with the energy level of a pit bull, is probably not a good choice. They can be quite safe to own but they require more of the owner in the way of supervision and control.
