i found this on a websie after the child got killed by two rottys, i think it's good to see what kids think of dogs but it annoys me on some of the things:

A baby girl has died after being attacked by two guard dogs in Leicester.
Police are investigating exactly what happened but the two rottweiler dogs have now been put down so they can't hurt anyone else.

Although dogs are popular pets some breeds, like rottweilers and bulldogs, are thought to be more dangerous than others.

But are you afraid of dogs?

Maybe you like them as long as you know the dog and it's owner?

Do you think some dogs are scarier than others?

Perhaps you've even been bitten by a dog before?

Or do you think dogs are only dangerous if they're not treated properly?

I love dogs, but I now feel quite scared of them after I heard about what happened to the little baby.

Abby, 9, Birmingham

I love dogs, I always approach them and pat them!

Martin, 11, Worcester

I always feel safe around dogs, I've got two of my own and I love them.

Ruby, 9, London

I think dogs are not that dangerous. Dogs know when you're scared and that's when they're likely to attack you!

Lucy, 10, Kent

I really like dogs but I am scared of very big dogs as I was chased by one once. I think dogs like rottweilers should not be pets.

Charlotte, 10, Framingham

I feel fine around dogs, they aren't usually aggressive. They have either been provoked or brought up that way.

Bethany, 10, Dorking

I used to be ok with dogs until I was about five-years-old when a neighbour's dog pinned me against a fence and bit my mum, and now I am really scared of dogs.

Tom, 10, Sheffield

I'm a dog lover! When I see dogs on the street I approach them and pat them, no matter how fierce they look. My dog is really scary looking but a big softie!

Aoife, 11, Ballina

I love dogs, I always have done, and I get sad when they are put down.

Holly, 10, Brighton

I Love dogs, although some of them can be nasty! My Dad got bitten by one when he was five-years-old but he still likes them!

Alix, 10, Thurso

I am absolutely terrified of dogs and I am scared of every single one of them especially big huge ones!

Momina, 10, Falkirk

I've been attacked by dogs on six separate occasions, and I'm still not scared of dogs. They're harmless... Ha, yeah, right, I hate them. They should all be put down!

Raz, 8, Ossy

I think dogs are very intelligent and caring animals, they can tell if you don't like them.

Hazel, 11, Prestwick

I love dogs and have just got a golden retriever puppy for my birthday and I can see why this kind of incident would alarm people but rottweilers are awful and vicious dogs.

Emily, 12, Hook

It depends, I'm really scared of this little dog called Basil because he barks a lot, but I really like this quiet, slightly mad, playful dog who is quite big called Banjo!

Eve, 10, Stroud

I feel safe around dogs but not really big scary looking ones!

Preston, 13, Preston

I feel safe around my dog as he has protected us from burglars in the past. I think the way a dog behaves is down to its owner.

Rhiannon, 13, Penarth

I'm usually okay with dogs but I tend to be slightly cautious of some.

Kimberley, 13, Nottingham

I don't like dogs unless they are small and don't bark!

Natalie, 13, Stalybridge

I think the owners of dogs that can be dangerous should put their dogs in a cage.

Jamie, 13, Woking

Dogs are lovely but I think some dogs are not good to have as pets.

Beth, 10, Bingley

I think it's the owner's fault if the dog is violent: they either haven't been trained properly, or most of the times, accidents happen when they haven't been treated the way they should have been.

Nora, 14, Szeged

I got bitten by a massive dog when I was only eight but I'm still not scared of any dogs!

Taela, 11, Aldershot

I feel safe around dogs because I have dogs and so normally I carry a dog whistle so if one tries to bite me I just blow it.

Andrew, 9, Bingley

I feel safe around dogs I know but I am scared of big dogs like rottweilers.

O'nika, 10, Bradford

I think that dogs that are dangerous to people should be put down.

Daisy, 9, Riddleden

I never liked dogs and I never will!

Hannah, 10, Crossflats

I was once chased by a dog and I was really scared. I think dangerous dogs should get put down!

Louise, 10, Riddleden

Most dogs are lovely but this one needs a bit of training, it's evil!

BJ, 10, Keighley

I do feel safe around dogs unless they're very big!

Charlotte, 11, Southampton

I love dogs only if there're friendly and the owner says so!

Keely, 11, Chorley

I will never be scared of dogs. I've been bitten loads of times in the past but I still think a dog is man's best friend!

Mimi, 12, Cardiff

When I was little I got snarled at and almost bitten, so yes I am afraid of dogs.

Suzanne, 11, Nottingham

I have a German shepherd and he is a guard dog but he is not violent and is well trained. I think if dogs are violent they should be trained again instead of putting them down!

Niamh, 12, Wishaw

My dog is very sweet and I like him!

Chloe, 7, Northside

My dad has a rottweiler and I've always been scared of it, and what happened to that little girl was terrifying and now I feel even more scared of it!

Tarnya, 11, Leicester

I'm a bit scared of dogs as once I was chased by one on the beach. It didn't hurt me but it was really big and so now I only really like little dogs.

Ben, 11, Exeter

Just goes to show - half the kids on there are more intellegent than most of the adults in the world.

No suprise there.

Sad story.

Have you heard the next piece of drama?!! One day later, and the grandfather and his partner have been stabbed.... She died.

ALL VERY SUSPECT.

Very smart kid. :) To bad not all children and adults can think the same as some of these kids.
