Anatomy of a dog bite.....

Consider this a public service announcement.

Do you have a pet dog?

Do you trust it?

Do you say to yourself how good it is with your children?

Trust it? Don't. The photos below are of Bailey, from earlier this year, when our 12 year old cocker spaniel bit Bailey on the face.

It was not the dog's fault. It was not Bailey's fault. It was mine. I should never have left them alone in a room together, not even for a minute.

We still have Bonnie. She is old and tired and doesn't take kindly to heavy toddlers going hee-ha on her back. I t was a difficult decision, and it is hard to keep them seperated, but it must be done.

I hope the pictures below serve as a wake up call to all of you dog owners. If your child is behaving in a way that makes you say how tolerant the dog is, sit up and take notice. They do have a breaking point. NO dog can be trusted.

It still makes me cringe....at least he now only has one small scar under his eye and one in his dimple where it was stitched.
