Yeah, kids are another deal too. I agree that is prey drive.

Bandana would go ballistic at a kid, just like it was a dog. To her, it was "small and moving," so it needed to be killed.

I have never seen Silverback around kids, but I wouldn't trust him with one.
He was too intense and perpetually geeked-up to trust, and he was irritable if anything f*cked with him.
When he would play, even with me, it was always very rough, and his bites left bruises on me, let alone a small kid.

His daughter, Amazon, is the opposite, very calm and docile with kids (even other animals). She is more like Poncho in that regard.
Poncho could be eaten alive by puppies; they could play tug-of-war with his face, pull his ears till they bled, never bothered him.
My niece could grab both of his ears and hang on him, under his chin, and he would support her weight with his neck, and let her hang onto his ears, and he never even paid attention.

To be honest, I actually trust the deep, deep gameness of a CALM dog, more than a geeked-up dog ... they tend to conserve their energy better, last longer, and tend to be more unflappable in the trenches IMO.
