I hear you.

Seriously, have they ever thought about possibly getting BIT!!! Use your head!

I was waiting outside the store for my sister, and I had Missy sitting my lap outside and some random child comes laughing & running towards me and Missy... she attempted to pet Missy and I immediately grabbed her hand and allowed her to pet Missy with my hand holding hers to show her the how gentle you have to be, because my experience with children touching my dog has been horrible... that is why Missy gets scared & start barking at dogs, because of crazy children running to her like crazy. Dogs have different personalities, they need to realize that.

Now i am babysitting a 7 year old. He has gotten on my nerves. He has this stuffed Sonic toy and he gave it to Missy to play with and started whining about wanting it back. So i gave it back to him. Missy started barking & crying for it, but then I managed to get her attention elsewhere. Anyways, I was in the kitchen and spotted him teasing Missy with the toy by flashing it at her. I immediately yelled at him and told him don't do that!! you're going to make her cry. And she usually barks at him, and he gets dreadfully scared, so I told him... "why are you going to tease her like that if you don't like her barking at you'? I told him next time he teases her and she starts barking at him, I will not stop her from barking, so he can learn his lesson.
