They mix fine as long as they're trained to get on with each other.

Both dogs and children!!
Out of dog owners, children, and dogs, the problem is not usually*
the dogs.

*Can be sometimes, though.

Exactly, so better be safe than sorry.


Just not feasible, particularly on the streets.

And the last thing that makes any sense is to never
let kids get anywhere near a dog, because you are
actually stupid enough to do things like that, so
they stay fearful of dogs.


Our little lad was knocked over by a greyhound (someone local takes them
in when they're too old to race). It was muzzled, but it was still a
bit of an ordeal, as the owner lost control of it, and it was rather
'excited'. It'll take him a while to completely trust dogs now, which
is a shame, since the missus really loves them.
