That’s not really true, I trust my dog more than most people. Long track record, and actually a sentient being. I saw her looking at the stars the other night when I was out in the jacuzzi.
No kidding?
Your dog bring you beer too?
Does he have a sister?
LOL
I have the nicest dog in the world. It’s very people friendly and non-harmful. It really, really likes my cats, though they aren’t as reciprocative.
However, it is still a dog and will do doggy things. It will react in a dog-like way to the stimulus around it. That leaves the potential for unintended harm if it is around a child without constant supervision.
That does not mean a dog wants to harm a child, but its natural reactions leaves open that possibility when left to its own devices. Anybody who doesn’t recognize that simple fact leave themselves open to very unfortunate experiences, like that couple in Britain.
I think Dallas59 is right on this one.
