Dr Phil had this couple on this week. Their Dalmatian had bitten their fifteen month old daughter in the face and she required over thirty stitches by a physician specializing in plastic surgery.

The husband had the dog since before their marriage and the dog was deaf. The mother was sitting on the couch when the toddler got off her lap, reached for the dog and he attacked.

Since then, the mother refuses to allow the dog near their daughter and the husband disagreed. He said that it wasn't really an attack and that his wife should have not let the child bother the dog. He wanted the dog to stay and his child to be trained not to bother the dog. Yes, I couldn't believe it, myself.

Dr Phil told him to put the dog in a run outside and never allow the child near him again. That seem to satisfy the mother. But, if I had been her and my husband put my child's safety over his love for a dog, I would have told him to hit the road.
