    All it proves is that no dog is 100% safe or guaranteed to not harm your child, regardless of what fanatics say. Having a dog around small children will ALWAYS pose some level of risk.

      Supervision and training is definitely required. I often worry about status dogs like rottweilers and pitbulls, but they can be the most placid family dog with the right training. Surprisingly a lot of dog attacks are from Labradors, which might be due to their prevalence as a family dog.
