I've brought up two children with a (very) young springer spaniel. All three were trained from an early age. They all thought they were sisters. I've a lovely photo of them all sitting on the kitchen floor, waiting for their relative biscuits and milk. The dog would never have thought about pinching their biscuit or harming them (biscuit hitting the floor may have been fair game), or vice-versa. The children learned to walk by hooking their tiny fingers into the springer's ears and would let go the instant she protested.
The problem's not with dogs, but with untrained dogs. People need to be trained!
I walked past a german shepherd t'other day. It had a muzzle on, but the walker didn't keep themself between the dog and I, It aggressively lept towards me. Perhaps I need to carry a tazer, or pepper spray?
Since moving, there's a 'rat' nearby, that yaps continuously. Thank god I don't live any neary to it!
