My ex-husband told me how he killed the family dog by jumping on it from a couple of steps high. He told it with regret and I didn't quiz him about it any more.

If the child is disabled, it might be hard to teach him about how much is too far with animals.

The dog doesn't look too happy. But I think if I didn't know that children can fatally injure a dog, I would think it's a cute picture. The children in that family are amazingly beautiful/handsome.

There is a HUGE difference between a kid jumping on a dog from two steps up and stepping up on it. You can prove this for yourself. Lay on the floor and have a kid step up on your stomach and stand there...then have the same kid jump on your stomach from two steps up. You’ll see what I mean.

The dogs are clearly able to move away if they are uncomfortable.

Anybody who thinks these pictures show anything other than the special relationship between kids and dogs - particularly a dog’s loving patience with “their” kids - doesn’t know much about kids and dogs...especially dogs.
