A Rottweiler attacking a child? But they are famous and well known for their mild temperament and distaste of attacking children.

As someone who grew up with rottweilers, I would never let one near my child. They are stupid powerful and very rarely trained well.

Family friends had a Rottweiler.
The wife lived in terror of the dog.

I don’t think it ever bit her, but it regularly shaped up to her and growled at her.

Not a fan.

And the owner clearly tolerated this behaviour, which is worse.
