That is a Neopolitan mastiff. Agree with Zoom. That's a picture of a very young Mastiff and in picture #2 had he continued foward on the roll as often dogs do when rolling in/on something with an appealing scent, coming shoulder down with all of his weight on the infant, he could have seriously injured the baby. The dog is approx. 80 to 90lbs. and if a male, I agree, is not displaying the affection I think one assumes they see in the picture. It is dangerous for an owner to let a dog that size have physical contact with a baby that size, bottom line.
I wouldn't allow Fozzie to play with a baby like that... and the Neo has at least 50 lbs on Fozzie!!! =|
It is very cute at first glance (especially the last one), but again very scary. Allowing a puppy to "play" with babies like they are on an equal level, or as if they're a toy, could equal an attack when that puppy grows up.
I know some people (in my family) with a huge chow/rottie mix who thought allowing their dog to play with young kids was fine... until their dog killed the neighbors Poodle by rolling it around with it's paws and shaking it "like a toy". A big dog can fairly easily kill a baby if the play gets out of control, even for a second.
