[quote=Anonymous]The title pretty much sums this up. We have had our dog for about 1.5 years, and he has some aggressive tendencies that are no longer manageable with a toddler. (Please no judgment here -- we have worked with numerous trainers, lifestyle changes, etc., and are working with a reputable rescue to rehome the dog. We are very upset this is where we've ended up but know it is best in the long run for the dog and for us.) Our daughter is 2.5 years old and very attached to the dog. We are trying to figure out how to explain this change to her and welcome any tips. I've researched how to tell a toddler a pet died, but this isn't really the same situation. I honestly can't predict if our daughter will just say "Bye doggie, have a good life with the new family" or if she'll be really upset and ask about him for weeks, so any suggestions or experiences with this are appreciated. Thank you.[/quote]
