I understand both sides to this, I have a young daughter who is so gentle and can safely handle copper and another tiny female I was pup sitting. Emma knows the rules and that she is big enough to potentially cause harm to them by stepping on them and dropping. She doesn't run in the house, or even outside if the dogs are around. All Em knows is little dogs.

However, I have two neighbors with good kids that no matter how many times i remind them not to pick up the dogs and so forth they cannot seem to remember. They get too excited at the idea of a "tiny puppy" I would not place a dog in these homes because it wouldn't be safe, I think that it is too hard to judge a young child that you don't know, the potential risk is too much.

But when I look at rescues it makes me sad because we would be a great home for one of those little angels, we have a lot of love to give and the resources and knowledge available but we also have a young daughter.
