How do you think the dog should have acted? I think it acted accordingly,
being held by an unfamiliar person. In the dog's defense, I think it did nothing
that any other dog would have done, in this situation.
Buddy is a love and loves people but if I handed him over to someone he did
not know I am sure he would growl at that person being unsure what was
happening.
You need to spend time with the dog alone. Only puppies don't care who
holds them IMO.
I am sorry your son has been sick and glad to hear his treatments have
worked and he is on his way to recovering. That is wonderful news.
Good luck,

Well said, and I agree.
