I have to disagree. I've had 3 puppies that were truly human aggressive over the last 20 years from my personal breedings. Now that being said, mine were raised by and along with my kids, and got ample socialization. These pups were straight man eaters, and had a genetic flaw. If it is a genetic flaw, no amount of structure is going to cure him. In my opinion it is better to error on the side of safety (especially with someone that this appears to be one of their first bulldogs), for your families sake.

Exactly right. You canNOT hug and molly-coddle "all doggies."

Some dogs are simply dangerous and not worth the risk, just as some people are simply dangerous and not worth the risk, again (as you said) especially with a family on the line--and with a green owner to boot.
