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.
exactly which is why i say we need a prosecution ( maybe not in this case but at some point ) people still think thier dogs are fluffy friends

i love my dogs but never let the kids be in charge of them until they are old enough to know what to do and do so in a VERY confident manner

dogs spot fear / weakness a mile off
