is. dogs can only take so much rough housing- ear and tail pulling.
i agree. dogs are not to blame. sometimes its the owner of the dog or the parent of the child. far too many kids are allowed to climb on their dogs, pull and tug on them, dress them up, drag them around by their leashes, nearly strangle them while trying to hug them, poking and hitting them. parents allow this. unfortunately, either their dog lashes out when they have had enough or the child uses the same behavior on a less tolerant dog. it is our job as dog owners to keep the environment for our dogs safe
