True, but for a small kid a smaller dog can still hurt them, especially if it bites them in the face.

Pitbulls get more media coverage, but I remember finding a stat a few years back (so it may have changed now) showing that GSD's were involved in more attacks than pitbulls. That policy in Surrey sounds pretty good, at least from what that article tells.
