The Romans believed that things that seemed calm, IE, a silent dog and still water, could still hurt you. Stagnant water is often poisonous (which happens as the bacteria therein are allowed to multiply over time), and a silent dog can still (and if they are focused on you but are silent, still, and alert, very well may) bite you.
