A dangerous propensity can include dangerous playfulness and over-demonstrative affection:

"[O]ne who keeps a large dog that he knows to be accustomed to fawn violently upon children and adults is liable under [section 509 of the Restatement] for harm done by its dangerous playfulness or over-demonstrative affection .... [Par.] ... [L]ikewise [i]f the possessor knows that his dog has the playful habit of jumping up on visitors, he will be liable without negligence when the dog jumps on a visitor, knocks him down and breaks his hip .... " (Restatement Second of Torts, sec. 509, comments (c) and (i), cited in Drake v. Dean, supra, 15 Cal.App.4th at p. 922.)
