thats true soterios ... ive also seen small dogs take chunks outta children though so it goes both way.... i am comfident with my pitbull to play around my 6month old son, he is the most gentle dog ive ever seen when around my son they are like best friends (thats not say i would leave them alone in the same room unsupervised) but i wouldnt with n e dog. wife had a lshasa apso that was miserable around my son when growl try to climb all over. so that dog is GONE! but my pit is amazing around kids, ill take him to petco and children will come play with him and i know i dont need to worry about him...
