You hear of these kind of tragedies, such as a newborn killed by the family German Shepherd, or, years ago in my son's neighborhood a toddler lost an arm to the neighbor's pit bulls. But the owners assure you the dogs are "Just a big old baby!". Forget that! These dogs have SHOWN that they are aggressive. Precautions can and will be taken, if it were my child. I don't understand why any family would have those aggressive breeds with young children.
