An in-law's 10 month old grandchild was recently attacked by the family dog, had to be life-flighted to a hospital and required some fairly extensive surgery to the face. A very sad thing. Thankfully it wasn't fatal.
I'd like to point out that there is no such thing as a dog that will not bite. No such breed and no such individual dog has ever existed.
If you have a child it is not a good idea to have a dog that is too big for that child to defend itself easily in case of an attack. That means if you have a 1 year old, there is no dog that is safe to own.
Use common sense about the age of your child and the size of your dog. I'm sure every dog owner has an anecdote about how safe they feel with their child around their dog. I assume in every dog attack case the owners felt before the fact that it wouldn't happen to them.
That's got to be a hard thing to live with.
