I saw a moron mom letting her 6 year old walk a pit bull. Some would argue it’s no different then a 6 year old carrying a loaded gun. Except in this case, a gun doesn’t have a mind of its’s own. Pit bull does.
No 6 year old child should be allowed to walk ANY dog or be left alone with one-not even a Chihuahua-they are too young to control an animal or make judgement calls if a bad situation develops-we had a German Shepherd when my own cub was a little one-we got the dog as a puppy, so she was totally bonded with the cub-but only hubby or I walked that dog-the cub was allowed to walk the dog when she turned 11-but not before.
