I've experienced the same and always thought PSI is a pretty absurd way to gauge puncture damage like this.

The thing about dogs is that they don't damage you by puncturing. They try to grab onto your body parts and tear your flesh out by moving their head furiously. In that regard PSI can be a useful metric as it describes how hard it will be to open their jaws.

You'd have to know a lot about how that PSI was measured and how their jaw is sized for that to be in any way useful.
