Two parents in South Carolina knew something wasn’t right when their normally mild mannered and playful dog started acting strange toward the babysitter they hired to watch their infant son.
Their dog’s behavior eventually led to the babysitter being convicted of abusing that same child.

I don’t like people who don’t like dogs. That almost all Muslims hate dogs should tell you how I feel about almost all Muslims.
We figured it was just a protective instinct-- men were a perceived threat to her, but not women.
The kid looks more like a toddler than an infant.
That can happen sometimes with intact (not neutered/spayed) dogs. Males become very territorial over their female person, or females become very territorial over their male person.
As well as animals.
Basically, her future career options should be limited to cleaning out porta potties.
Very Good Boy
That so ugly you can’t tell if it’s her or a horse’s a$$.
They had to physically restrain the dog from going after her, the last time she came over to babysit.
LMAO!
“I’d have a problem trusting anyone my dogs dislike.”

An otherwise friendly dog taking a dislike to someone should serve as a good heads up.
I don’t know what they’re able to sense that we can’t, but it’s usually a sign that there’s a problem.
Why don’t Muslims like dogs? Could it be that they can sense the demons?

Ever see the Twilight Zone episode where an old feller and his dog both die while out hunting?
Dogs are smart.
I trust dogs.
I also love dogs, but do not have one - two cats. I need a fence to be an appropriate dog owner.
That said:
One summer, between the first two Star Wars movies, as a summer job in college, I was selling books door to door in Indiana for a subsidiary for the Times Mirror Company...
The city/town I was in was laid out on a grid - we worked the grid, then moved onto the next grid...
There was a small collie that followed me for more than two hours - door to door. No matter how pleasant and friendly I was to that dog, it followed me and barked incessantly. BARKED INCESSANTLY! I could not do my job. The dog was clearly not in ‘control.’
I tried very hard to befriend the dog, however, after almost three hours I kicked it like a football. Legs ‘running’ in the air. Satisfaction.
No more dog issue.
Three weeks later we moved to the next grid and I knocked on the door of the owners of the dog. It was barking, the door opened, it let out a ‘yelp!’ and ran to the back of the house. I did not sell those folks any books.
That dog knew me and understood my actions.
I tried to be nice to that dog, but it was not friendly in the least.
The ‘boot’ was the last resort.
I mention this because of the context of this story.
I trust dogs.
Lastly, to deter ‘dog hater’ responses, I was in a bar once and a guy was deriding my family and me.
I explained the truth, explained his errors and tried to soothe out the situation (like I did with the dog), I asked for an apology - none was forth coming - so I threatened him.
I was not bluffing. I gave him one more chance, he flipped me off and then I lunged for him. Pity I could not punch him but I did kick him in the ass as hard as Jan Stenerud.
You should have seen the guy...

Yeah, it could just their higher senses, e.g. smell, but ya never know.
You were a stranger and the dog thought it’s job was to alert when strangers were around. I don’t approve of kicking a dog that was not physically threatening you.
Good dog,don’t tell me these dogs don’t have souls.
You do NOT understand.
The dog actually followed me for hours.
Hours!
I travelled more than two miles with a dog on my heels barking and yapping at me.
The dog was not in control.
Understand this or come by my house and I’ll show you what I did to the prick that was harassing me...
I don’t know where the belief among Christians arose, that animals don’t have souls. There are quite a few Biblical verses to the contrary.
Good!
