I do not think it is ever good to go away and leave a child with a dog, especially a smaller child. They often don't know what will hurt the dog, and don't realize that is what they are doing when they grab the dogs ear or lip, or another tender area.
Any dog can be pushed enough to defend himself, and the only way they can do that is to escape or attack. If they are in a room where they can't get out, then the child is apt to get bit.
And that does not even address the issue that some dogs, like the Pitt bulls, seems to be a lot more apt to attack than many other breeds. There definitely needs to be a change in people's attitudes about the danger of these breeds, and going to prison may be what it takes.
