What children should NOT do:

If A Dog Bites You

If a child is bitten by a dog, or any animal:

Note: Never leave a small child unattended with a dog, not even the most playful and friendly one! Small children will consider this animal as a toy and don’t have the sensitivity yet to understand that poking into a dog’s eye, ear’s, pulling the tail, the legs, etc. might aggrivate the animal so it will defend himself. Also the size/height plays an important factor. Being at the same height as the dog, or below, playing with the dog on the floor, the dog easily will consider himself as “the leader”. Your dog needs to learn to respect your child as superior, but your child needs to learn to respect the dog and it’s feelings.
