Question

Salutare!
Va rog ajutati-ma sa comentez acest proverb.
Multumesc!!!!!!
If dog bites man, it is not news; if man bites dog, that’s news.
Dacă câinele mușcă omul, nu este o veste; dacă omul mușcă câinele, acestea sunt veștile.

Answer 1

It means that it's a normal habit for an animal to bite if he is under attack or is attacking, but humans, as evolved creatures, are expected to behave normally, their primary instincts being well buried inside them, but when they let those out, that is something that's not normal for us, so that's why is it more shocking and more of a news when a human bites a dog, and not viceversa.
