Instead of a photo, I would have been smacking and lecturing my kid.

Yeah thanks. I took a lot of hits for my comments about safety.

It's a dog, just like a bear is a bear. It looks great in the pic this time but maybe not next time. I mean tell it to the guy who was eaten by the bears...

I wish people would leave the romantic notions out of this stuff. All dogs bite.

Someday this dog may have a different agenda and reach up and remove the child on his own terms. Or just flip the kid off and he hits something on the way down.

Allowing children to stand on dogs is a bad idea. Shame on you Ansell for using PETA as your ally.

LOL, shame on you for being so childish and thinking that it is persuasive.

Other than that being a sweet moment captured on film, and not a permanent state of Trig using the dog as a step stool, as the 6 year old boy is forced to wash dishes for the Palin family.

The dog is a special trained service dog, for the Special needs child, and Native American, Trig Palin.

Just crawl back into the arms of your liberal Peta friends and pretend that letting children stand on dogs is a good idea. Good night. Thanks for playing. LOL.

Perhaps you should come down off the drugs and notice that post 600 is simply a link to a freerepublic thread posted a few minutes ago.

Not old enough to be a trained and certified therapy dog.
Ever seen the requirements?

What is happening to that poor dog when the cameras are not rolling?

What’s all the fuss about? The pic does not show him standing with both feet on the animal. Maybe he was just using the dog as a foot warmer? They wake great foot warmers. Geeze lighten up people.

Why therapy dog?

This dog is a service dog.

What point to you want to make to attack the Palin family?

I realize that there are various categories, including dogs that are trained to accept the weight of adult men, but what is the point that you want to make as it regards attacking the Palin family?

When I posted my comments, I didn’t know that Trig’s dog had received special training, which obviously had made her more tolerant and accepting of unexpected or perhaps unusual behavior from him.

I could see that the dog wasn’t harmed and noted that she was very tolerant and not harmed and that the photos were snapped quickly in sequence.

Nonetheless, like I said, I think those pics should have remained in the family album, and Trig should be taught to better care for his dog. Accidents happen and like you said, dogs bite and they also move. Trig could have hit the sink’s counter on the way down.

I’m sorry you took “heat.”

Here, ask a veterinarian about children standing on dogs and get back to us.

Or ask a whole slew of veterinarians and a few animal trainers and behavioralists.

Then you will know why.

He had both feet on the animal.

Just as most families with kids and dogs have at some point. “PETA Woman of the Year Posts Photo of a Child Standing on a Dog”

It takes quite a bit of training including basic obedience to become a certified therapy dog.

There is a trend nowadays to use the words without the training however.

All of my dogs can be therapy dogs in the morning I suppose.

Let’s look at Peta’s “woman of the year”, as linked to in post 600.
