That's the same way I feel too. For some reason I have a friend that too, has a large breed dog and she always wants him to play with my boys
I keep telling her now and I think she takes it personally, too bad! There is no way that I will even risk taking a chance that something would happen, all it takes is a split second in the blink of an eye. They always think that their dog won't do any harm, right...So anyway my boys will always be safe as long as I'm around...Theresa
