FFS why has PH become the place for people always assuming that everyone else must be lying?
Did I say that she was in it's face? No I didn't!

Because PH has become a place where people tell half the story expecting a proper answer

"she was stroking the dog and it bit her in the face" that sounds incredibly far fetched!

Why do you think so many people have asked you to clarify events!

My mate isn't a liar & has told me as it is. Infact if she would have provoked the dog, she would have been given a slap!

Anywayyyy to prevent it happening again, he must make sure the dog is re-mhomed to the correct environment. I would be on the phine reporting it asap.

How would he feel if the dog bit another child?

[boobles]

This is what he intends doing. ^^^^^^

[quote=Jasandjules]What was the child doing to make the dog bite her?

Ditto

I think the reason for your posting is being missed. I hope the dog finds a suitable new home but I think it is wrong that it has already been listed.

A family dog needs a level of tolerance (though I agree that dogs can only take so much!) I don't believe this dog has that tolerance, not the dogs fault and not the childs either, as a result the dog needs a much more thorough assessment and I don't believe it has had it. High risk of dog finding wrong home again .

Can I just add my 2yr old is fantastic my furry friends but he is 2! On the odd occasion that he has been quick to grab etc all my animals have taken avoiding action, Jimmy dog looks to us for guidance on what to do and only once did he turn towards my boy when my boy accidentally caught him in a sensitive area but he didn't bite him and he moved away from the situation. That's the sort of behaviour you hope for from your family dog (and cats!)

I believe you bobbles.

I was attacked by 2 grey hounds when i was 8, i was walking past a house, they jumped they garden fence, tackled me to the floor and bit down on each shoulder trying to remove my arms.

What did i do? nothing, i was just walking home, i didnt even see them coming for me.

Hope your daughter is okay. (haven't seen anyone else care to ask?)

There are many rescue centres who list animals as unsuitable for children under 12 or 10.

The reason for this is that children can be unpredictable little beasts and often can't be trusted until this age (no matter how much you adore the little dahlings).

It is equally unfair to place a small child in a position of ultimate trust as it is a dog.

I don't care how much people protest that their Rottweiler would guard their toddler with their life... if it had a pencil shoved up it's nose 16 times, the child would not be able to spot the warning body language and the dog would soon react like a DOG (not an anthropomorphised dog-babysitter-bodyguard).

My mates daughter was never left alone with the dog at all for the brief time they owned it.
She is also 9 years old & pretty bright for that age & realizes NOT to shove pencils or anything else up the dogs nose.

Dogs play bite (bad habit) and dogs nip when pushing their dog hood & yes dogs sink their teeth deep during a true bite.

Dogs can and do sometimes get into a bite frenzy and the next minute are as calm as a beach on boxing day but we all know deep down that beach is going to be hit by a tsunami.

Dogs get rehomed for many reasons and the sneaky biter has to be number one.
