I can second this notion.  Back in 1999 we had the opportunity to visit with 
long time friends.  Like us, they had gotten older, and unlike us, had two 
children.  Their daughter was about 8 years old.  When we arrived with our 
two Pyrs the little girl wasn't too sure about these big dogs.  She came 
quietly up to me and said she'd like to pet them, but if she did, would they 
make her have stitches again.  I told her no, not fully understanding what 
she meant.  Then I learned that she had been bitten in the face by a 
neighbor's dog just about a month before.  She needed stitches, but 
fortunately the injury had healed cleanly.  It didn't take too long before 
she was loving on both Baron and Zoe.  We all went for a walk, and she 
proudly walked Zoe on her lead.  By the end of our visit, our friends' 
daughter had full confidence in these two big white dogs.
