Well, I do totally agree with what you are saying, however i would not risk my baby's life that way. I don't think all, or even most. big dogs are vicious at all but you just never know what can spook them off on anything or anyone. They are all animals. Case in point, just last night my 10 lb Yorkie got into an altercation out of the blue with my 3 lb Yorkie right in front of me while I was at the computer and when I pulled him off he kept him attached and the little guy was hanging. By the time ( a few seconds) they were separated the poor little guys leg was bleeding. Now should somthing like that happen with a very large breed dog the little one would not stand a chance. I love all animals..but I maintain a healthy respect for the fact that they ARE animals and subject to their natural instincts. I sure hope you never learn that the hard and tragic way.
