According to a 1998 article in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), during a three-year study, there were 914 new dog bite injuries requiring emergency room visits per day. With 1,440 minutes in a day, that’s less than one bite per minute

Hey, I don't write this stuff, or research it, I just repeat it. Besides, maybe it includes the whole world in the sample, not just the USA. Them Pekinese can be pretty vicious, y'know, to say nothing of those German Shepherds, Scottish Terriers, Irish Wolfhounds, Australian Heelers, English Sheepdogs, South African Ridgebacks, French Poodles, and Great Danes.
