seriously, so my uncle cant leave his trained guide dog with a kid. What about a chihuaha. you said you had dogs i think, what type of dogs do you have where you cant leave them with kids ???
dangerous dogs should not be left with kids. my dog is great with kids, guess what its not a dangerous dog.
What don't you understand about the simple fact that it's an unnecessarily stupid risk to take to leave a child alone with a dog, any dog?
What if the child, not knowing any better, gets too playful with the dog and the dog naturally responds but with enough force to seriously injure the child? It might be unlikely but for most people, it's too much of a risk.
You have a nurse telling you how often it happens, you have statistics telling you it happens, why take the chance? If it happens to your child, it will be them that will have to live with the consequences, not you.
And yes, they should reintroduce licensing, and completely ban a lot of the breeds that are already around.
