Or a Japanese Akita. We had a black one once named Tojo that was around 150 pounds and he loved kids. We were told they were bred to protect families and especially kids. A lady stopped us once and asked if she could take a picture of our bear.

I can see how a Newfoundland could be mistaken for a bear by a small child. They are also bred as life savers.
