Yes, some do. But that, at least in Germany, are professionally trained (big and capable to do damage) dogs with good and easy personality that are handled by professionals. Like with ordinary weapons, too. Not everyone have the knowledge and abilities to handle that. So the other scenario where single women is afraid, gets herself a dog for protection - yes, but these dogs are rather not aggressive, good and very easy personality. They aren't trained to run-fetch-imobilize. So, may be to look at it as "pepperspray/self defense"-level and "search&destroy"-level Everything more that pepperspray is illegal and/or needs special allowance. Everything like pepperspray is painful, but not dangerous. And pepperspray can also be seen as a weapon, while it's not really is one..
