Sarah Palin has sparked outrage by posting pictures on Facebook of her son standing on her dog.

That's the kind of thing you rely on for evidence. The words of a retread who got zotted shortly after that for continually bringing up that subject on other threads.

Whatsamatta you couldn't goad ansel12 into a fight on this thread so you bring up a beef with me that's been under your skin for four years? ROTFLMAO

Clearly the dog is not under ANY stress. Trig has probably learned from experience where he can stand on without causing stress.

“The dog knows and loves the kid. The dog has a wider view than extreme political correctness of people that have dogs and not kids”

The dog is a better conservative than many here

[Yardstick]

Just wow. You have some seriously nutty ideas.

Thanks for playing, newb.

Sea kelp. The internet is not a substitute for therapy.

[SarahPalinForPresident2012]

I suggest that all Freepers should post similar pics on their FB pages to tell the libs off

[napscoordinator]

It is clear she does not have aspirations to be President.

I get it...Sarah can do no wrong. But it’s wrong to let a child stand on a dog. Doesn’t matter if it’s a therapy dog or not! Standing on a dog is wrong.

Having a minor accident from time to time is the cost of doing stuff and not living in a damned vacuum...

And yet, there is no minor accident to report. It's all just fear of what might could perhaps have happened and maybe it could have but it didn't.

Too many FReepers have further gone to the dark side than I had thought prior to reading this thread.

I agree...and here is Breitbart story telling how this dog is a service dog specially trained for Trig, to deal with Trig, and to roll with the punches.

This lab was a SERVICE DOG....how often do trained SERVICE DOGS bite THEIR CLIENT. He was trained for Trig. Period.

[C. Edmund Wright]

OH SNAP - you need to put some ice on it and maybe tell your husband you’re not ready for the interwebs....

THE DOG IS A SERVICE DOG SPECIALLY TRAINED FOR CHILDREN LIKE TRIG......

I never commented about this dog in particular; I never commented about this picture. Honestly, I am not upset about this picture.

I actually like this whole debate because it highlights with such clarity the whole hypocrisy of the left. I was not even upset about Romney cruising the nation with the dog on top of the car. I grew up in a rural area and we all had dogs riding around in the back of vehicles, loose.

I was replying to your posting where you said you doubted that the number one dog biter in the nation were labs. They are. But they are because they are the most owned breed of dogs, so it does skew the statistics some.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Understood....I posted that article describing how this was a service dog for Trig mostly for the benefit of those who had insisted this was reckless. It was not.

As for the stats, your post jumped in support of them whether you meant it to or not. Labs are far less likely to bite than many breeds - it’s just that there’s so many labs - of all colors - that those stats are meaningless because they are not pro rata.

[ican'tbelieveit]

My only concern for Trig, or any child, is that while their own dog may not bite, they still need to be taught that that is a no no in general. Step on a strange dog, might get nipped.
