[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did your son push her away? Maybe by the face, and his finger tip went in her eye? Or maybe the dog is just head-shy and his going to push her face away spooked her.

I tend to assume human error. I would not get rid of the dog based on this. I would retrain all family members in how to command the dog, how to touch/play/pet the dog, and would firm up the training of the dog.[/quote]

This is why you pet people are psycho. You'd rather your child be traumatized and eventually mauled than give up a pet you just got.[/quote]

I'm not at all psycho. Her dog didn't bite the kid, the dog snapped at him. It was the dog's way of giving a warning, which is why I asked HOW he pushed the dog away. You helicopter moms are psycho. See how that feels? Don't call names. Once, when my son was around 1, he wanted to pet the dog. They were both on my bed. He kept crawling after her and she kept moving away from him. Finally, she snapped at him. He cried. He was not traumatized. We changed the way we allowed them to interact, and she never snapped or bit anyone again in her more than dozen years past that.

I'm a dog lover and I think you're crazy too. A good family dog [b]moves away[/b] from a child who plays too roughly.[/quote]
