before, probaby with her own dogs, and was not corrected. I have 4 grandchildren that are around my yorkies all the time. The oldest being 8 and the youngest being 4. They play with my babies all the time and they know how to play with them, even the 4 yr old. They never ever pick one of my babies up. They are taught better. I just wish everyone would teach their kids how to treat any animals. Animals also will do what they are allowed to do by their owners. Just like kids will do what they are allowed to do by their parents. So please, dont blame the child, blame the parent. If that happened to me, i think i would tell the parent exactly what i thought!

great post... and I agree 100 percent. Dont blame the kid, if she wasnt ever taught than how would she "know better" age has nothing to with it. I have 4 children that have been taught from a very young age how to treat animals and I also run a small daycare. At this time I have 2 little girls under the age of 2, they know how to be nice to my pets, because they have been taught by thier parents and me telling them everyday. "You can pet the doggy but you do it like this nice and gentle"
Im furious that the mother of that child said nothing!! That is just so disrespectful at least she could of apologized!!
You handled it very well by telling the child that what she did was wrong. I however would of definitly said something to the parent.
Im glad that little Tatum is ok. How scary for you and the dog.
