I read today that in the United States, 43,730 people die every year from cars, 14,440 from falls, 5,555 form choking, 3,410 from fires, 3,334 from drowning, over 800 children are killed by parents or caregivers, and about 25 or 20 are killed by dogs.

And it's not like the case in regards to the low numbers of deaths from sharks, where the obvious statement is: very few people are around sharks. Dogs are all over the place.
So why do so many people seem so much more scared of dogs than of all these other things?
Why do they have breed specific discrimination, against certain breeds that they're especially afraid of? (This is the dog-oriented equivalent of racism, although of course it's not as immoral to be racist against a dog as against a human. But there are interesting parallels).
