Animal lover here..however, I do not care what kind of dog you have...never...never ...ever leave a child alone with a dog. My sister has owned PitBulls for years. She gets them when are like 5 weeks old and raises them like babies. They have had 4. My BIL is very cautious about children around them. They got rid of one because she kept circling the toddler niece when she was outside. BIL says, we love our dogs but you can't forget they are animals with instincts we don't understand!
