I have the mindset that if it’s my property I can do what I want. With that being said, if there was any reservations about a dog with a child then the dog should be removed from the kids presence or vice versa. I do not believe that a kid should be bitten by a dog and I will put the dog down myself. On the other side, that’s why I have dogs. If I’m not home and someone tries to enter my house when I’m not there, I prefer the dog to bite. I would actually prefer to have a trained protection dog but don’t have that kinda of money or time. The job of a dog is to protect his territory when you’re not there. If it does that when you’re not there and you punish the animal for doing its job then that’s messed up. When it comes to dogs biting kids I think it’s black and white. When the dogs are protecting its home and territory, I think things can get gray.
