What most people don't realize is NO infant or small child can safely be left alone with a dog. I don't care what breed. You never know what a child will do to a dog when left alone. If the dog is being hurt it will bite.

This is something I repeat, ad nauseum, when people haul out the: "GET RID OF YOUR DOG BEFORE SHE EATS YOUR UNBORN CHILD!" craziness. Thank you for being a voice of reason on this thread, Pandora.

Why thank you. What I always did when I had a baby and dogs at home was bring something of the baby's home before the baby got home so the dog could sniff it and get the baby's scent. Worked fine for me. I also made time for the dog to get to know the baby and not resent her/him. And I spent time alone with my dogs so they didn't feel forgotten .~~Pandora~~
