Yes, that's the one, thank you.

Adorable, but I"m not taking any chances. Too precious!

My daughter had an GSD/collie cross, who was 6 when my grand daughter was born. The dog loved that child like her own pup.
Obviously we were careful about the dog and very young baby, but as grand daughter grew, she and the dog interacted amazingly, and yes, the child tried to take bones off the dog - but then the dog had been brought up with adults randomly taking bones off her - part of training/socialising/showing who was 'boss'.

My daughters were brought up with cats - one weighed over a stone, and it was muscle, not fat. He even walked like John Wayne!
Younger daughter (14 months when we got the cats - we waited until they were 3 months old because of the baby) teased him - but never hurt him. I told her not to tease. If she ignored me, the cat gave 3 warnings with a whack of his paw (claws in), then gently bit her. He never pierced her skin - just a warning. Daughter knew to stop doing whatever she'd been doing!!
That cat would stop whatever he was doing if I said 'behave' to him.

As younger daughter grew older, cat had other means of telling her off. Somehow, she'd end up lying down with this huge cat on her chest, paws either side of her head, staring in to her face.
All I would hear was 'Mum, help', and come upon the scene.
I'd say 'behave', and the cat would walk off as if nothing had happened.
Daughter got no sympathy from me.
Daughter was 14 the last time this happened.
From a very early age, if this daughter was ill - the cat would be beside her.

The other cat would just walk away if she didn't like what was happening. However when she had kittens, she bought them, at 2 weeks, one by one to the girls and left them there while she went out for an hour or two!!

What an amazing dog!!!
If he was really fed up with the baby, he could have got up and moved.
