I always cringe when I see people put their babies, toddlers, and kids next to dogs. ANY dog. They are hunting pack animals. They are ALL dangerous. I don’t care how many people say “Oh my dog is so sweet he would never hurt anyone.” I bet this woman thought the same thing about her ghetto ponies.
At least make the introductions slow until the dog knows how to behave around a child. However, even then a dog should not be left alone around a child.
They say that you should also have a place where the dog can go, but the child can’t, so the dog has an escape route to protect itself.
“ANY dog. They are hunting pack animals. They are ALL dangerous. “
That’s one of the dumbest, most ignorant, posts I’ve read on FR ever.
Even Chihuahuas!
I had one of those bite me on the ankle one time!
agree...my dtr and her husband have two huskies...they got them before they knew they would be parents....the dogs have acted well around the baby but still.....I warn my dtr.
A dog nearly took my son’s face off when my son messed with him while he was eating.
Indeed! Every golden retriever or lab pack I’ve ever encountered tried to lick me to death. Some even try to jump up and you have to say “down” and “whosshagoodboy?”
