I had a girl german shepherd named Reba she was great with kids ,cats and neighbors..i think she had the longest tongue in the world im sure she could lick your face from across the room.sadly she died only 18 months old.
i have had a part beagle ;midnite; for the last 13 yrs also great with kids .the grandkids ride on his back or drag him around by the tail and do all the things that little kids do and all he does his lick there faces and sometimes hide lol
