The number of fatal dog attacks in the USA has been going up. The yearly average was 17 in the 1980s and 1990s; there were 33 deaths in 2007, 23 in 2008, and 30 in 2009.

Divide that by the number of deaths in the USA and you'll get an approximation.

Doing a quick estimation, I guess you end up around 1 in 140,000

Of course, the real odds depends on the risks you take.
