It sounds like this dog has never had child interaction and that can be very scary for a small dog. A 5 year old is louder than an older child and more rambunctious than an adult and Im sure that scares the bejezuz out of poppy. I would definetly not leave the two alone together for a long time. I would suggest that your daughter gives poppy her treats or favorite toys...dont let anyone else do this for a long time..that way poppy will think of your daughter as the rewarder and might warm up to her quicker..good luck with the adjustment!!
