I read and hear stories in the media every year about the family pet mauling/killing their child. The parents involved state that they just don't understand it...the dog was always so gentle with the child. Maybe the dog has a tooth ache...or stomach ache...etc...or maybe the child did something to hurt the dog...or maybe they are just having a bad hair day/off day. This happens when the dog is bigger and stronger than the child...thus I conclude that people should not have a dog that is bigger and stronger than their child.
It is not breed specific either...although it is fact that some breeds...can and do more damage...when they attack.
