Fact number one
Human jaws are quite powerful. Humans can bite harder than gorillas, well that's if we were the same size. Gorillas are able to have a bite of 1821 PSI (Pound-force per square inch), but if we were the same size as gorillas, we would be at 2750 PSI. That's more than most species, that's not much less than crocodiles who have 3000+ PSI!!
Without being the size of a gorilla though humans typically have around 150-200 PSI, which if that isn't cool enough there have been reports of forces over 260 PSI just around the molars. That's a LOT, especially if you compare it to most often feared dogs. Out of a study including these three dogs: American Pit Bull Terriers, German Shepherds, and Rottweilers, the study showed that Rottweilers were the strongest with 328 PSI, German Shepherds came second with 238 PSI, and lastly the American Pit Bull Terrier had 235 PSI. That means humans could possibly bite HARDER than 2/3 of these most commonly feared dogs.
