Yes, a good reminder
my youngest daughter is almost two and I agree that those little hands are
very quick! She is very gentle with our two, but I am constantly watching to make sure that her hands don't get too grabby.
Where were the parents of this toddler? Who lets a two-year old (essentially a
baby) approach and touch someone's dog?
I am sure they would have suddenly materialised if your furbaby had (understandably) bitten the child through fear or pain.
I was taught as a child that you never stroke a dog without asking the owners permission first, and it's a lesson I've passed on to my children.....surely it's just common sense - for safety of the dog and the child
