Until recently we had a medium-sized dog. My daughter was reticent around her at her best. She liked her, but wouldn't really like to be near her. However, she's afraid of large dogs and neither my wife nor I are afraid of dogs.
I think it has to do with the fact that large dogs are HUGE compared to little kids (5-years-old). I mean would you be comfortable around a dog that could look you in the eye? Or knock you down (even by accident).
Also, a wagging tail to the face is pretty painful. My daughter hated that about Lillie. Those things can hurt when they're really excited.
