When will we learn that young children and dogs do not mix.

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.


The problem is that dogs can occasionally kill a child. They are hard
pushed to kill and adult.

So whilst having dogs and kids is fine, there should always be an adult
capable of prising the dog off the child should the child ingenuously
decide to see what happens when it smashes the dogs balls with a couple
of half bricks ...

Learning stuff like that is what makes adults out of kids, but sometimes
they don't live to understand the lesson.
