Best form of children’s life insurance EVAR
if it lives that long…
They can always get a few more…
That’s EXACTLY what I was gonna say. Giant breeds like that only live 8 or 9 years, tops.
no boifrends fer u Suzy!
Mastiff wil not scare boifrend. Mastiff will cuddle up to boifrend and drool on him and also steel hiz noms if given a chance. Ai luvs mastiffs.
It’s the mass amounts of slobber vs. teenage vanity that creates fear
…..so you sayin’ there is no drawback to a mastiff, at all?
Actually, i missing my Eng Mastiff turribly….he was great!
I love the caption it is just perfect.
Mastino Napoletano (that’s the breed) doesn’t scare nobody. But they shure can lick the boyfriends thill they melt away
I want a mastiff now
but I has a bunny..
Don’t care HOW sweet they are
That might not go over well for bunnys…
I think it’s the size that might scare people. Mastiffs are freaking huge!
Yeah, personally, I have a hard time thinking “It’s okay! He’s just a big sweetie!” when something the size of a tank comes bounding over with teeth the size of my arm.
That photo was taken from here: http://leerburg.com/kidbites.htm and frankly, is one of the most moronic and irresponsible examples I’ve ever seen. Love your dog, but NEVER trust a dog 100% around a baby. Kid pokes dog in the eye, dog snaps at kid, and it’s all over red rover.
No kiddinks. A well-trained dog would be submissive, even to a baby, and never attack a human. But you can never be sure. My son’s got the scars on his face to prove it.
P.S. It was my parents’ dog. It turns out they’ve convinced my son that “he must have done something” to cause it. He was stroking it! They put the beast down after he’d attacked their other two grandchildren too.
Mind you, I’m sure mastiffs are a tad more reliable than my parents’ nutcase, and in this case it was my father’s fault for allowing the dog to become “top dog”.
Nonsense! I love those dogs….
Right.. and a dog will never attack a child – not when you ‘love’ them. The problem is simply that people treat their dogs like people and expect them to act like people, but dogs are dogs and could well endanger a child not by being a bad dog, but by simply acting like a dog should. There’s a potential disaster in that photo – and the photo has come from a dog training expert’s site warning about dog attacks in children. It isn’t funny, because it sends a poor message about how dogs and children should be allowed to interact together, and no tiny baby can safely show a dog who is boss or defend themselves.
1. Odds are pretty good that an adult was taking the picture and monitoring the situation
2. IT’S A FUNNY PICTURE! ENJOY IT AND LAUGH WITH IT! If we dissect and analyze everyone of these, there would be no point to the site!
A dog can bite much faster than a parent can react, and by that time it would be too late. And it’s not a “FUNNY PICTURE!” to be “ENJOY”ed if it depicts a dangerous situation for a child. What the hell is wrong with you?
Oh for Pete’s sake! Get over yourself. The child was obviously not left alone with the dog. Who do you think was taking the picture?
Anyone with an ounce of sense knows you don’t leave a baby alone with a dog. No matter how well trained, babies are too close to mimicking “prey behavior”. I have an infant son and I know better than to leave him alone with any of my dogs no matter how much I love them or how gentle they are.
But this site isn’t the dog training site, it’s a cute little site about dogs. Get over yourself and relax already.
Seems to me that if the adults were close enough to take the photo, they were close enough to intervene if necessary. No, I wouldn’t turn my back on a child with any dog, but I also wouldn’t wait until my child was a teenager before allowing her the joy of knowing a dog.
You obviously don’t work with animals and have no clue about dog behavior. It doesn’t matter how close the adults were, they wouldn’t be able to react until after the dog had bitten, and that happens fast. You have to protect children not only by knowing how to read every subtle nuance of dog behavior and expression, but also by not putting them in potentially dangerous situations.
The dog I mentioned above attacked my son right in front of me (and yes, I do still have nightmares about that one), so you’re right , it doesn’t matter how close the adults are.
It’s a cute picture, but for me it has extra baggage attached, if you know what I’m sayin’.
I’m sorry to hear what happened to your son and I hope he doesn’t have any lasting scars, either physical or emotional. Your parent’s attitude that the child did something to provoke the dog is, unfortunately, a common ignorance. Hopefully some of the people commenting that the adults are close enough to intervene or that the situation is ok because the picture is cute don’t have to have their own child bitten before they wake up and realize that dogs are dogs, not Disney characters.
Woops, Dawn’s comment wasn’t there when I started my post. Please disregard the bandwagon phenomenon.
Take the picture with a grain of salt y’all, its just funny and cute, no need to start a flame war over a cute picture now is there.

Regardless of how “cute” some people think this pic is, I for one would never let a 100 lb+ dog crawl over or lay on my infant.
Don’t fool yourselves. No matter if the parent was sitting right next to the baby, that dog’s potential bite is faster than an adult’s arm.
Dogs are not human. Don’t be ignorant.
If you feel the cuteness factor is worth the life of that baby…
It looks cute to you, but dangerous to me.
Gosh people they already TOOK the picture. It’s all good that your trying to prevent kids from getting bitten in the future, but obviously this kid didn’t get hurt otherwise no one would have time to put the picture on the website!
awwww, it’s like the lion laying down with the lamb!
Sigh. Shaddup awweaddy.
