Quote From: lucygirlI had a dog rip my face apart when I was five, the same kind of dog, a dalmation! To keep a dog that hurts your child is nuts. Your child will face the world with scars all over her face. Let me tell you how much fun that is! I am now fifty and still have people ask what the scars are from. How dare you choose an animal over your own child. You need to grow up. A dog is a dog, not your child! I have had dogs all my life, never a dalmation though, and if any of them had ever threatened a person. let alone my child, it would have been gone. Don't say I don't love my pets, I do, but I put my kids first! For me it would be either the dog goes, or take the dog with you on your way out the door!

I totally understand what your talking about. This happened to my daughter when she was two years old and she is now 16. She had laser surgery a year ago to try to make the scar less noticeable. She always came home from school crying that the kids make fun of her calling her "scar face" You worry the whole nine months that you carry this child hoping they have all ten toes and ten fingers and that they are healthy and then something like this happens. I felt like such a failure as a mom when this happened and I can't imagine my husband blaming me for this. I still to this day think about what I could of did differently, but at least I have the peace of mind that I did not give the dog another chance to maybe harm or even kill my daughter a second time!
