46. Exactly. Not enough details, but plenty of media induced preconceptions.
I remember when German Shepards and Dobermans were the "mad dog" favorites of the scaremongering media. Alligators and sharks also had their run. Recently, locally, a Lab attacked an older person - it got 10 seconds on the local news, but no mass hysteria. When a Chihuahua killed an infant in a crib no one claimed that mass extermination of that breed would be good social policy, because the media never made it an issue and the mindless dittoheads never got stirred up.
