One should open the eyes but then when looking at all the facts it should also show that there really is no danger at all.

I actually agree that the risk of death is pretty damn close to zero. But the risk of injury on top of the very slight risk of death makes me leery of having dogs around babies and I question the judgement of people who don't come to the same conclusion.
Seriously, the amount of baby-proofing we as parents do borders on ridiculous as it is. From bumpers on the corners of tables, to the elbow/knee/hand/wrist pads on bikes, five-point harnesses on strollers, etc. Removing a dog from the house is one of the more logical things you can do to protect your baby.
