The neighbor had a little boy around 5 years old and the boy kept running up to the dog, yelling in his face. Melissa kept telling the boy to stop but the kid did it one to many times and the dog bit him. So no matter how gentle you think a dog is they all have a breaking point.
It makes me sick when people tell me 'Oh, my dog is so gentle the kids can climb all over him and pull his ears and the dog just lets them'  What the heck are these people thinking. You should never let a child do that to a dog, no matter how gentle they are. It just takes a split second for tragedy to strike. |
Well, yeah, of course that dog would bite, lol. Do you blame him? I agree, you should never ever let a child constantly be up in a dogs face, etc. That's just crazy and not responsible.
Jackson is very good with children and at home there's a 1 1/2 year old that we live with... she puts her hands in his food bowl while he's eating, etc, she can do anything to him and he literally does NOT care. However, we don't allow it, sometimes it just happens by accident. If we see the baby going to do such a thing, we immediately put a stop to it. But I think ANY dog will snap, just as you said, they all have a breaking point.
