Here is the issue with Pits and Rots.
http://dogbitelaw.com/dog-bite-statistics/the-breeds-most-likely-to-kill.html
67% of all dog fatalities occurred within these two breeds, although they don’t come close to making up that much of the population.
The worst breeds are: pit bulls, Rottweilers, German shepherds, huskies, Alaskan malamutes, Doberman pinschers, chows, Great Danes, St. Bernards and Akitas.
With all that in mind, we cannot forget that these animals are predators and we’re always taking a risk with them. “The most horrifying example of the lack of breed predictability is the October 2000 death of a 6-week-old baby, which was killed by her family’s Pomeranian dog. The average weight of a Pomeranian is about 4 pounds, and they are not thought of as a dangerous breed. Note, however, that they were bred to be watchdogs! The baby’s uncle left the infant and the dog on a bed while the uncle prepared her bottle in the kitchen. Upon his return, the dog was mauling the baby, who died shortly afterwards.”
Respect, properly train, and socialize your dog.
Great comment.
But I’d add ‘stupid humans’; some people should neither be dog masters or breeders, let alone parents.

No animal, especially a prey species, should ever be left alone with an infant, double triple especially if they are a very young infant.
They are just too small a wriggly, yummy smelling, mewling creature to be left with a carnivore. I don’t care how tame or domesticated it is, the sight/sound/smell of a very young infant can too easily trip the predatory instinct of any animal.
There is always a risk, no matter how infinitesimal, so just don’t spin that wheel.
