Angus is excellent with the kids (I have 3) though he is never left unsupervised with them, but we do have mingle time where we are all together. He just treats children different than he does adults (or teenagers). My youngest, the cutie in the picture, can grab his ears, paws and even grab him by the tongue, he doesn't move until he's had enough and he just gets up and leaves the room. If an adult was to do the same thing, Angus would start playing and licking and pawing. He just has a great attitude with children. My kids are 6, 4 and 1 years old and Angus hasn't knocked any of them down since he was 6 months old, now he's 11 months old, I'm just afraid he might step on one of them by mistake!
