what???!
Quote From: ttmaniai am actually a little surprised there are responses to this before the show has even aired and all the details are given.
each bite incident needs to be judged on its own merits. you cannot say just because the dog bit the child once that it would ever even happen again. there are dogs that are just not good with kids and then there are dogs who are perfectly fine with children but may have reacted to a certain situation the only way a dog can communicate ... with its mouth.
i had a dog who did bite my son when he was 3. my dog was older and arthritic and my son thought it was great fun to try and ride him. the dog didnt find it amusing and gave my son several growls before he turned around and bit him. my son learned a very valuable lesson that day. he didnt listen to me to get off the dog, he didnt know what to watch out for in dog language, but he certainly learned what was appropriate behavior around animals from that day forward. my dog had never done anything like that before or afterwards. The dog bit a baby's face, A BABY'S FACE! a BABY can't provoke a dog. a baby? come on. We're not talking about some kids messing with a dog and provoking it to act that way. Even still there are dogs who don't need to be provoked to do something like that. I've seen it before. And I've been chased by my share of dogs BY NO FAULT OF MY OWN. Some things don't need but one fact, thee fact. The dog bit the BABY'S FACE. Give the dog away to the SPCA or to someone on a farm where there are no kids. I can't believe you actually belive what you're saying. Do you hear it coming out of your mouth. You choose a dog over a child, a dog over a child's safety or life. The child don't even have to be yours to make that decision.
