I lost my beautiful Billybob early this year he was 14 for a bull mastiff a great age. They are the most wonderful animals.Keep the weight off them and they can live long and rewarding lives.I despair when I see a heavy dog yours looks magnificent

I'm sure you are content, but I personally do not think you should every put 100% trust in any dog with children, high 90's perhaps, but never 100%.
I understand your comments but Dogs are simple creatures as long as they understand who is in charge and that person knows what they are doing all is fine. Unfortunately some people don't know how to look after Dogs and I don't just mean the idiots you see with large Dogs as a status symbol,A Dog is an animal and should be respected accordingly.
My Bullmastiff was with us for 12 years I never heard him growl.My two German Shepherds had aggression problems and you are right I would never put them in a situation that could be dangerous.
Dogs and owners should be matched accordingly sadly that's not the case.You wouldn't give a 17 year old a Ferrari and like wise Dogs should be matched to experienced owners.
Sorry if this sounds obvious but we see poor owners far too often and its the Dogs that suffer in the end.

Amen to that....A Dog is an animal and should be respected accordingly.

Thanks for the comments and your message John, so very sorry to hear you recently lost your boy....14yrs, wow what an incredible innings he had!!
I fully understand the trust with children etc and so much depends on how a dog has been socialized.
I was fortunate in that we had one on one training with a retired police dog handler from a young age and one of the most important aspects that he drummed into us was social interaction, especially crowds, so we spent hours walking in crowded shopping centres, London underground in rush hour etc and the result now is nothing fazes or startles him.
Of course, each and every dog, no matter what breed is different, i guess you just have that 6th sense with how much they can be trusted.
