So do I. However, when you live with a creature that has never hurt anyone (indeed, is friendly to everyone) it's easy to assume they are safe.
I have two terriers. One Westie and one Yorkie. Both are incredibly friendly and (the yorkie in particular) docile. Would I leave them alone with kids? No. I've seen how quickly they can turn violent. Thankfully only with other dogs, but it was enough to remind me that no matter how domesticated, dogs are still natural scavengers and are quite capable of attacking if they spot a weakness.
