My dog is no stranger to children. My girl has a 4 year old daughter and Penny and Lilly absolutely love eachother. Having said that, I'm smart enough and proactive enough to supervise them when they are together. The problem with kids and any dog is that children can often become to assertive/aggressive/etc with the dog and not know when a dog is getting aggitated. I have never seen Lilly abuse Penny and her mother and I have been very conscious of making sure that we teach Lilly how to treat and handle dogs.

In short, children require their own special attention from their parents. If you're a lousy parent, there is an endless list of things that can harm your child and the chances of your kid getting hurt are much higher if you don't take care that it doesn't.
