Audrey,
I know where you are coming from. The play fighting and plenty of contact with as many people as possible and the dog knows aggression is not the order of the day. The problem is when human kind pushes the other attributes of the breed.
My last dog was a large and strong Rhodesian Ridgeback, bred for hunting lions. He was gentle as could be, but if any other dog attacked him, Pit Bulls included, the result was a foregone conclusion.
All that said, what about George? There is none with a bigger heart than any of the terrier breed.
