Look at this way, if you don't know the dog well then better to stay away from him. There are just incidents wherein some dogs become very aggressive at some point while others are naturally irritable to those they do not know. I'm glad that you made a post like this because it's indeed helpful. Thanks! I agree with those. Look at this way, if you don’t know the dog well then better to stay away from him.

My Siberian is quite good at knocking people over and then lick-bombing their faces. <br/>Actually I could just spray you with watermelon juice and let your dog pack do the rest :D Ok, I’m definitely coming over and letting my dogs hunt you down!

I think the "be a tree" advice is right on, although it can be difficult for some children to follow :) Also very good advice with hand sniffing. I usually hold the child's hand in mine to offer added reassurance to the child and to make sure that the child does not panic and make quick hand movements in front of the dog. <br/> <br/> <br/>It is very unfortunate that dogs always get the blame in an attack; and often end up paying with their lives. I personally feel that the adult owners of the dog, frequently deserve most of the blame. As was described by Leah Kay, the Pup, when the situation became too difficult, they just moved on to protect their dog from surrounding unpleasantness. True, it can be annoying to have to leave a shared public space, but our laws do little to protect our dogs, so it falls upon the owners to take up the bulk of that responsibility. There really should be better protection laws for dogs and animals though. At the very least there should be more controls at the breeder and sale level. <br/> <br/> Hi Whitney, You bring up some really good points that I will have to add to the article.

I hate to lay blame, but in many cases it is. Dogs can only take so much rough housing- ear and tail pulling. Children, especially younger children, are also very susceptible to being bitten and attacked because they look, smell, and sound different than adults and even older children.

Children should be a tree until they know that the dog is friendly; they should ask for permission from the owner to pet the dog, and should let the dog sniff their hand before petting.

Young children should always be supervised with dogs- even their own.

Sometimes, I have a difficult time reading Sephy, and his body language changes so quickly, when he is excited that it is difficult to catch it. I think dogs always tell us their intent, but sometimes we just miss it or fail to understand it. Sometimes, things happen so quickly, we are not fast enough to stop it even though we may see it coming. This is another reason why I no longer bring Sephy to enclosed dog parks. Some people bring little kids there, and do very little supervision over their dogs or kids. Best not to tempt fate :) Linda, very good story.
