People often ask if a Mastiff is really a good choice of pet for a family with smaller children. [tag-tec]Mastiffs [/tag-tec]are very gentle and loving animals and are very loyal to their family. They are not violent or aggressive unless trained to be so. In fact, Mastiffs have better manners than some children. Mastiff Dogs are also very good with other animals if socialized early.
I found a blog post about a family that is quite happy to have a Mastiff as a friend for their young daughter.
Read about Savannah and her best friend Zoey the Mastiff.
