excatly. no matter what kind of dog it should not be left with kids unattended. some times kids can push a good dog too far and hurt the dog and then it reacts then it is always the dogs fault in the eyes of parents or general public. now, Peanut is the best friend to my just about 3 year old neice. they get along great and play but she never gets to play with him with out me around beause her espeically can be really misbehaven and can go from playing nice to hurting her playmates and the dogs in seconds. the other day she got mad at Peanut for licking her when she fell down and while he was loving on her she started yelling at him and balled up her fist and tried to swing on him. i seen her doing that and game over she was now in rough mode she doesn't get to play with dogs when she is being like that. i took the dogs away from her. (i am trying to teach her that is not acceptable)
