There's no need to engage in hypotheticals here.

Statistically speaking, dogs are much less likely per capita to injure/kill a human, than a human doing the same to another human.

Humans are violent apes, whereas dogs (with very few breeds being exceptions) have been bred for 5,000 years for docility/companionship.

Yet here we are, hypothesising.

Also, statistically speaking dogs are less likely to come up with new methods of improving life on earth or even simply helping out other creatures in need.
