    I have been bitten by a cat that meant it and a dog that meant it. I would rather be bitten by a dog. The cat hit bone. The dog did not. The hamster bite bled profusely, but otherwise wasn’t too bad. Based on the information in this comic, I am going to avoid birds.

      I’ve experienced the same and always thought PSI is a pretty absurd way to gauge puncture damage like this.

        The thing about dogs is that they don’t damage you by puncturing. They try to grab onto your body parts and tear your flesh out by moving their head furiously. In that regard PSI can be a useful metric as it describes how hard it will be to open their jaws.
