| Re: Ugggh more idiots... I wonder if the dog and kid were being closely supervised. Not just, 'I'm standing 20 feet away, my kid is playing with this dog...ladedadeda.' A childs idea of playing with a dog isn't always the dogs idea of playing. I suppose if I were a dog, and some kid was pulling at my lips, tail, fur, sticking it's icky fingers in my mouth or ears, I might bite it too. I do that with all of my dogs, with none of them biting me, but not all dogs have that done to them.
IMO no dog, no matter the breed, temperment, or training, should be trusted with a young child, as a young child should never be trusted with any dog. Irresponsibility on the parents side causes more bites than the dogs do. And the same with dog owners too. If their dog has a history of biting, snapping, or growling, then is should be supervised at all times to prevent bites. If it doesn't have that history...dumb parents. |
