Nowadays a dog is considered to be a friend of a human for centuries and has shown itself as a devoted friend and home guard. They are smart and intelligent, well-trained and obedient. But it goes without saying that a dog is still an animal with its instincts and reflexes, one of the most important is hunting and pursuit of the victim. And these instincts lay deep inside dogs psychology that is impossible to erase with the help of training.
This notion touches upon such dog breeds as the Greyhound and the Lurcher, that are bred to chase small animals. They may put its instinct in action being out, so it is recommended for such dogs to be muzzled when out.

There are no laws in the UK that forbid to walk with a dog unmuzzled, but there still is limitation. The Dangerous dogs Act of 1991 singled out the Pit Bull Terrier, Dogo Argentinos, the Japanese Tosa and the Fila Brasileira breeds as danger to the public.
Literally: "Persons from having in their possession or custody dogs belonging to types bred for fighting; to impose restrictions in respect of such dogs pending the coming into force of the prohibition; to enable restrictions to be imposed in relation to other types of dog which present a serious danger to the public; to make further provision for securing that dogs are kept under proper control; and for connected purposes." (DDA 1991)
