What's wrong with people?
Yet another stupid human that actually has the ability to breed another human and did.
I guess some people just don't get it. Parental responsibility is supervising your child when they are together with the dog. I am not mocking her for getting the dog and yes I am agreeing that she is doing the right thing by rehoming the dog. Get it now?
No, I don't get it now. What
are you mocking her for then?
So she messed up and got the wrong sized dog for her particular child. Some kids are easy to teach around animals. Some are much more difficult. It is not easy to supervise a kid every second around a dog. Believe me. I've had a few dogs when my kids were young.
I purposely got a little bit older GSD when my daughter was 1-1/2, thinking bigger would be better....sturdier and if she turned out to be a wild child, the pup would stand a better chance. As it turned out, when Ajax would be lying on the floor and I would tell Emily to be very careful not to step on his tail or fall on him, she squatted down in that cute posture little ones have and patted him ever so gently and side stepped
very carefully way around him, really watching out for his tail. LOL. She turned out to be so gentle and careful with the dog. But parents can't always predict ahead what their kids are going to be like. I mean...we could have gotten a younger puppy or even a toy breed if we had wanted to. My son was another story. He followed and chased our kitten around...just really bothered him... and I had to constantly be on him.
This person made a boo boo probably in getting the toy breed. But she made sure to rectify it and find a more suitable home. I've seen people allow their kids to terrorize their dogs and cats. Supervising is definitely important. But there are still going to be moments here and there, where people aren't watching for a minute. I didn't supervise my kids around our GSD or Lab, once the kids were a few years old. The dogs were so trustworthy and had an off the charts kind of tolerance for anything the kids did or their friends. These dogs were nanny dogs.
I might be in the kitchen doing dishes and my 2 yr. old son is right there near me. I watch him, but look back at the dishes. In a moment, my son is falling off a chair onto the dog. A few seconds of looking away is all it takes. Impractical and ridiculous to think you can watch a kid literally every second unless the dog is shut away much of the time. As it turned out, our GSD was not perturbed in the least if my son fell on him. If he didn't like something, he'd walk walk away. Mistakes happen. It is good to get a sturdy dog with a stable temperament or shut the dog away unless it's kid time. (that wouldn't have worked in my family) Or wait till the kids are a tad older.
Kids are all different in their personalities. Supervision is definitely important, but slip-ups do happen. People make mistakes about dogs all the time....really horrible ones. This one...this misjudgement about what kind of dog to get means the dog needs a new home. There are mistakes that people make with dogs which destory the dogs' lives....abuse, neglect, unkindness, fighting dogs.....you name it. This woman's mistake is nothing when compared to what could and does happen to dogs all the time. She did the responsible thing and found him a new and better home.
