Good thinking. I would not be surprised at all. Labs are the best dogs in the world and are especially good for children.
I’m 68 and have known labs all my life. My first memory of a lab was when I must have been about 2 and our lab dragged me back away from a pond. He didn’t like us little ones to get near that water.
Growing up I had a dog that was half Red Coon Hound and half Lab......kids could lay on him and put him through all sorts of indignities but watch out if you threatened a family member or happened to be a wannabe "Alpha" dog and try to set up shop on his property....the Red Coon gave him a real feisty fighting spirit.
