I know a lot of little girls, who handle pit bulls and other dangerous breeds, with much more talent and precision than 98% of the so-called "dogmen" I've witnessed. Just sayin'.

I wouldn't trust a child ALONE with any breed of dog, either. My house dog is fantastic with children, honestly, she loves them -- because she's a fatkid at heart, and babies always have food, and they always share She'll crawl around on the floor with them, she'll cuddle with them, she'll lay her head in their lap and wait ohhh-soooo patiently for them to hand her a piece of food (or drop it), they can crawl on her, pull her ears and tail, stick their little fingers in her eyes, mouth, nose, whatever, and you just couldn't ASK for a BETTER dog with a baby or child.

And still, I would NEVER leave one alone with her.

Not that I think she would ever do anything intentionally to hurt a child, but there is just too much left up to chance. If she sees a cat or squirrel in the window, all of her common sense goes right through it, and she could easily run one over, get to barking and carrying on, upset the baby who could then start crying, and in that excited state, there's just no telling what could happen.

There's just no point.
