small kids are naturally inquisitive, if you have a large dog, you have to make sure that kids can't just wander in off the street, regardless if they should be there or not.

No, incapable and irresponsible people should be stopped from owning dogs.

Re: Staffordshire Bull Terriers in Australia

Not everyone likes dogs and should not have to tolerate an unknown dog running up to them, even if it is friendly.
