I had gone visiting with my 1 year old. There was a huge dog there. The owners assured me that the dog does not harm anybody. but about 10 minutes later he jumped at my child, who got so scard that she had high fever in the night. What you said is true.

Never mind the little ones being scared of loose dogs in the park... I quiver when I see one. No matter how friendly or NOT the animal is, I keep my distance. I was about 7 I think when (yep I used ti love dogs) I was attacked by my relatives pet dog, fluffy. “Pet Peeve” of mine.

As a dog owner and a kid owner :) I think most people just don't get how big their dogs will seem to a small child. My problem is the reverse however. Because my daughter adores and lavishes loving attention all day on my little Boston Terrier who would probably not even move if she attempted to touch is eyeball (actually this has happened and he doesn't!) she views all dogs with the same kind of trust. I am finally driving home to her that if we see a dog in a park and he doesn't have a leash on that she is to stay away or wait for me to come with her. Dogs with no leashes can cause owies to Autumn. Would I trust my own dog with other kids in a park? No way. He is little and cute and I constantly have to tell kids to move slowly and let him smell their hand before touching him. The cluelessness is also out there with parents not teaching their kids proper animal safety. Little dogs can be more aggressive than big ones but parents forget to teach that. Shawn Hear, hear!

A big dog runs up towards your little kid, you move protectively, because you don't know the dog, and tell your kid to stay away, and the owner acts all offended. It's amazing how clueless some of these dog owners can be. I hate that, and it happened so often.
