I can't find a single example of a cocker spaniel killing someone, but I'm sure it's happened somewhere in the world. Based on Wikipedia deaths caused by smaller dogs (of which there are very few) seem to be one of two things. Either an unsupervised infant (often incapacitated parent), or a complication in a child victim caused by the bite, but effectively an underlying health issue that was triggered by the dog bite.Point of pedantry but Cockers are medium sized.
Of course it's not as high risk as Pitbull or it's XL bastards but there are more prone to neurological conditions that cause sudden and unprovoked viciousness.
