Boy, do I ever agree with you Sally , saw a child get bitten right in the face by a Dane - it was not a pretty scene. The parents were clueless when it came to monitoring this little one.

It scares me because of what could happen not only to the child but to the dog also \ I'm sure we've all had it happen that munchkins have run up into our dogs' faces to hug them and hang onto them, to be followed several minutes later by a parent asking "do they bite?", all the while their darlings have become cling-ons..... My favorite was when I was shopping at a vendor and an out of control youngster was into EVERYTHING, opening bottles, dumping chalk, removing wrappers from things, stepping on feet/tails, knocking toy displays to the floor.... all while the mom was oblivious....he ran right up into JR's face, looked at me and asked "do he bite?"...I couldn't help myself, I said loud enough for everyone to hear, "he just takes little bites from out of control little boys". Well this munchkin ran right back to his momma who glared and left, all the while everyone under the vendor tent had a good chuckle. (Of course you could only say that with a dog who would suffer anything from a child without biting, lol!)
