Agree with Roscoe's Dad. As a father of 2 small girls, I can never understand why some parents don't think before they allow such things to happen. I can tell you this - with our 7 mo old Rottie, we never let him near the kids when they are eating. Sometimes, we give our kids a cracker and they might walk about the home with them...Kids get up from the dinner table and run with food...kids drop food and try to pick it up...knowing all of this, our Rottie pup is never roaming during our eating times - he gets confined until we're done eating.

What's scary is this child's face is covered in food. What IF your dog decides to take an inadvertant chunk instead of a lick?? Some kids eat and leave chunks of food on their faces (mine did) and you don't want to have your dog making a decision about "lick" vs "bite".

I'm not sure if this takes place at your home, but this mom needs to be told very nicely to wipe that face before your dog gets close...and besides, common sense tells most aprents to always supervise pets and children closely (at all times). Why should you have to "put up" your dog in your home so her kid can run amok with food on its face? Some parents...geez.

Good luck!
