Miezzi - maybe your neighbor is more afraid her children might hurt your dog. Not all children have been taught to be careful with small animals. We mom's worry about what our children do, fur or no.
They may also be allergic. When my niece was little (1 or 2), her friend was allergic to cats, suddenly my sister found when Ashley saw a cat she became hysterical. It was hysterical (but not for my sis) |
