Gotcha.nobody should leave em alone with each other - until the child is mature enough to understand an animal and the dog very well trained.
Keep the kids locked away until they are mature enough - righto.
But children are inquisitive and mischievous and have arms and legs and dogs are fascinating.
My take is that you must be exceedingly dumb to bring a potential child killer into your home if you have vulnerable young children. People ARE that stupid though, especially when it comes to cute puppies and emotions.
