[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dog owner here. We have two huge German Shepherd Dogs. They were raised around kids and are fantastic with my children and their friends. They have never shown even a hint of aggression towards anyone. My kids play rough with them, chase them, pull sticks out of their mouths..... I can walk up and take food out of their mouths without any resistance.. They are well trained and well socialized.

Having said all that, they are NEVER off leash in public unless we are at the dog park or out in the middle of the country. I am continually amazed at the parents who will allow their toddlers to run up and try to hug my 140 pound German Shepherd. Teach your kids not to do that. My dogs are friendly. Many are not. And it would be really difficult to stop a bite if your child is charging at a scared dog.

Also, the question is always- "Does your dog bite?". My dog is an animal. He does not think or act like a human. He has never bitten anyone before. But he is a dog. Yes, he could bite.[/quote]

I ADORE dogs, have had them as a child and an adult and I am flabbergasted at the posters who think that dogs should be allowed off-leash where it is not legal (or if not allowed, asked very politely and gently to comply with the law as opposed to threatened) and that parents trying to keep their kids away from dogs are overzealous. WTF. If I was out with my dog and he wasn't on the leash, and a parent yelled "Hey, leash your fucking dog!" I'd do it and they'd be right.[/quote]

Thank you. I wish all dog owners were as reasonable as you two are.[/quote]
