I don’t think it is good because not all dogs would behave that way. Just like I don’t think children should be crawling or playing around dogs that are eating, even if the dog thinks it is OK. Some dogs won’t think it is OK.
ANYTHING that Palin does will get the attention of the libs who are waiting in the weeds to find something to crow about. She could be delivering a special birthday cake to some shut-ins and the bastard libs would make a big deal out of it. Get over it people, get a life.
Most animals know when a child isn’t normal. I’ve seen the worst acting animals become tame when a special needs child entered the room. Not all mind you, but most. The animals sense that the child isn’t all there and allow much more manhandling than they would with a normal child.
JMHO.
I had a black and white tuxedo cat that was legendary mean. Legendary. His vet record had multiple red X’s on it for ‘mean cat, use gloves and restraints’. It was a one person cat. Mine. I warned everyone who visited to give him a wide berth. Wasn’t difficult as he avoided strangers as well.
We’ve got friends who have a moderately autistic son. Non verbal but receptive language is better than most. When they visited with the kid the first time, I warned them all about the mean cat. And the ASD kid nodded his head ‘yes’ to show he understood not to try to pet the kitty.
This mean cat walked over to the kid (he never ever approached anyone but me, btw) and head butted him for a head scratch. We were dumbfounded. This cat sat there next to the kid for 10m at least getting all sorts of head scratching (clumsy head scratching) and purred and acted a cat fool.
Never did that before or since for anyone else.
This dog ‘knows’ Sarah’s son and is aware, in an animal sense, that this kid isn’t ‘just like’ all the rest. He likely tolerates a good deal more from Sarah’s youngest than he would from any of her other kids or gkids.
JMHO.
This particular cat of mine had a brain tumor and we had to put him down. I knew he was getting ‘wonky’ when he did the same thing, 10 years later, with my youngest child.
For goodness sakes then don’t show the pics to your dogs. Trig is precious and so is the puppy. I have had several large black dogs and they all knew how to get out of the way, not a one was masochistic. Do you and yours also have Palin Derangement Syndrome?
