When I was around 10, we had a Great Dane, who won top honors and went thru obedience school, and yet still bit three people within a years time. Our neighbors raised Pitbulls for years, but I know of a few incidents with them and children. People put too much faith into there dogs because it was "raised properly", most live out there lives and in fact are good dogs, but the only fault that us people have is the ignorance of thinking "my dog doesn't bite". In the last 5 years, I've been bitten 10 times or more,(look at the last post about my daughters incident) many of those times I've heard a similar comment. Frankly I think its rude and an invasion of peoples well being to bring a potentially (large) dangerous dog into public places.
This is the same reason that I don't go walking around the neighborhood with my Boas, and I don't think it should be done by anyone.
