Funny topic. I own - or I'm owned by - a nine-year-old doberman cross, a former stray. Owned him since he was six weeks old. He is perhaps the most gentle dog I have ever owned, and I've had dogs almost my entire life.
I have three sons - six, four and two - and I have never worried about "Elvis" hurting them. Quite the contrary............my dog considers himself to be the guardian angel of my kids and has on a couple of occasions saved their bacon.
Although he is fairly fierce looking, he is a p*ssycat. My wife and I chuckle when deliverymen will not come to the door.
