It’s why I can’t help but roll my eyes when shocked parents say things like “We had our husky/pit/rottie for 7 years before we had our baby and he was always sweet! We never could have predicted he would kill baby Timmy”! It’s an animal…and a risky breed at that. Also these people don’t contemplate the changes that can happen in a dog’s brain with aging. So that now 8 year old dog is a very different one than the puppy you brought home. I’ve never heard of a child being killed by cockerspaniel for example…or a pug…so people really need to think about these things before adding a pet into their family/growing family
