Basing my assumption purely on the fact that only about 35 people a year are bitten by sharks the US, I'd have to go with a true on this one.

Shark attacks are extremely rare. An individual is three times more likely to be hit by lightning than to be bitten by a shark. There were an average of 32 shark attacks per year in U.S. waters between 1990 and 2004. Of the 490 attacks during this 15-year span, 11 were fatal. Visit the International Shark Attack File for a comparison of the relative risk of shark attack versus other potential hazards. top

From 1979 to 1996, 304 people in the United States died from dog bites, according to data from the CDC.

* In bites by rabid animals, morbidity can result in significant illness. Although bites by rabid dogs comprise 16% of cases, bites by rabid skunks, foxes, and bats comprise most cases. Squirrel bites and hamster bites rarely cause rabies.
