I had one dog who I decided couldn't be trusted around kids...put her down. I have no tolerance for dogs that are mean or just not trustworthy.
Every other dog I've owned over my 50 years has been wonderful with kids. Such dogs exist - by the millions. And because they have been raised around dogs, my kids can read their body language.
I would hate to see kids robbed of the love and emotional support dogs can provide. When my grandkids are feeling sad, they do what I did at that age - seek out the dogs. The unquestioning love a good dog gives a kid can do wonders on days when life is beating you down.
And with your statistics on injuries, you need to look at the protection dogs can give. My elderly aunt had a strange person come up her drive at 10 PM on a winter night. She turned the girl away. Moments later, her little dog went nuts. Realizing something had to be very wrong, she grabbed her gun - and met a guy with a ski mask over his face reaching for the door. Facing an armed woman, he turned and fled - but without the little dog's warning, my aunt would have been unarmed.
The large dog pictured below got me out of bed at 2AM once. He was frantic. Some investigation revealed a neighbor's house (empty at the time) was on fire - and the people right next to them didn't know. Our call to the fire department was the only notice they got - and it was based on a dog.
He is now owned by my daughter, and keeps watch on their place at night. He may bark once a year, but when he is upset, you DO need to find out why. There is a reason!
