[quote=Anonymous]We adopted a dog several months ago and our family adores him. However, our youngest child seems to adore him more than he wants. We've tried working with the child on the way the child touches him and we've tried working with him on his response to the child (he growls and snaps). This morning, when our child was pulling at his bone, he lashed out and bit the child. We don't know what to do. We're very concerned that the biting is going to worsen and that it could be much worse next time, but we don't want to over-react and give him up without thinking it through. It doesn't seem that the tension between the two of them is going to work out, though. Tonight, we caught our child doing exactly the same thing to him. Thoughts? What do we do? And, if the answer is that we need to give the dog up, how do we explain this to the rest of the family? [/quote]
