[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a [b]friendly dog[/b], but the amount of children that come running up to his face with their hands sticking out while the parents are completely ignore the child is mind blowing. Sometimes they come from behind and out of nowhere, too. Parents - if you expect people to control their dogs then you need to control your children too. That way, all is fine. Also, no dog owner needs to cater to you or your child wanting to pet a cute dog. [/quote]

You pretty much do have to cater to the public by keeping your [b]dangerous  dog [/b] away from them. How dare you take your dog to an area filled with parents and kids. Let me guess this is at school drop offs, the playground or soccer practice? Leave the dog at home and get a clue.[/quote]

NP here. Do you have reading comprehension issues? I didn't realize "friendly dog" = "dangerous dog"  You sound exactly like one of those parents who let their kids run up to a dog and stick their hands in the dog's face. [/quote]

I'm the previous PP - exactly, I said my dog is [b]friendly[/b] and he actually loves kids, so I will let the petting happen... I have not once taken him to a school drop off, but yes I go to the park because parks are not only for kids and families...you're not very bright are you? I always think to myself what could have happened if the kid ran up to an aggressive or fearful dog instead of my calm/happy one.

I don't think anyone is arguing that dogs are more important/as important as kids, but dog owners have the right to be in public as much as anyone else. It's so insane to me that the crazies on this thread want to risk their kid being bitten or mauled by a dog that they ran up to and started petting uninvited, just because they think "shouldn't be my problem or responsibility -it's on the dog owner." Such idiotic thinking. Ok, yes if an aggressive dog bites your child the dog might be put down, but your child will be injured, scarred, or maybe killed, so GET A CLUE and teach your kids to respect others' space.[/quote]
