Depends entirely on the breed.

Bite by a Chihuahua? Nuisance at best

Bite by a Pitbull? Death or horribly mangled for life

It was a German Shepard mix. I definitely felt like I was fighting for my life.

Fun fact, german shepherds bite more people annually than any other breed!

shows off super-villainesque face scars

And the vast majority of bites are from animals improperly socialized or cared for, and then of course police and military duty. My shepherd bite was from the family dog that my father abused pretty severely.
