What happens when you pull a dog's goolies

[Tank]

This http://www.stuff.co.nz/4812831a11.html mother complaining about facial injuries.

Beat me to it.

Man, I laughed.

Neopolitan Mastiffs are notoriously laid back. Whoever was "supervising" that child should have their arse kicked, it sounds like it was completely their fault.

We were at a family bbq recently where a couple of dogs were tearing around playing silly buggers and generally being over-excited. When the action got a little close to our son I was there in a flash to nip anything in the bud. I do not even allow my son to be unsupervised with our own dogs. The sooner people learn this, the less children will be bitten by dogs.

What made me laugh was "The investigation also revealed the child had been involved in two previous incidents of alleged animal cruelty."

The kid is 3 ffs. My 3 year old used to cart her brothers pet rabbit around by holding one ear, while the rabbit dangled underneath. Kids don't know what will make animals pissed off, and if the dog has the taste of human blood now...

It is up to us to teach and supervise littlies around animals and lead by example.

If the dog was simply defending himself, I doubt he would do it again unprovoked.

Pity. Maybe that would have removed the little fucker from the gene pool!

Sorry SH but even a kid of 3 knows when it's causing pain to something - you never seen siblings fight? That silly bitch complaining should have been lookig aftyer her kid instead of getting boozed.

Yeah, true. It only took us a little bit of explaining & she carry's the bunny properly now, and very gentle. The way I explained it to my little girl was to say "how would you like to be carried by your ear". She thought about it, and never did it again.

And I don't blame the dog at all. Like you said earlier, it's all about supervision.

I woulda bitten the little bugger as well had he squeezed my goolies...

After further reflection, I submit to your's & MsKABC's collective wisdoms. Seeing as the kid has a 'history' of taunting animals, I would suggest it would be better if you don't let him around them by himself.

A child of a similar age once teased my Boxer with his mince pie. The pie was promptly dropped on the ground when dog growled at child, and child ran away crying to mummy, leaving dog to eat pie

I think they did go a bit far saying the kid had a "history of cruelty", but left unchecked, he probably was heading that way. They say cruelty to animals is an indicator of more serious things Hopefully that mum will be more careful in future.

I note with interest the number of nails mum has through her own face...

If you play with fire..... you get burnt. serves him right and.... I tell ya what, the sooner you learn this lesson in life the better. Sounds like mummy wants to wrap him up in cotton wool and protect him from the big wide world.
