| Re: Rottie attacked by unleashed dog, yet is blamed?
I agree with A/C officer, both are at fault.
The owner of the puffball should have been in control of there animal and a 10 year old does not have the physical strength or mental capacity to deal with a situation such as this should it arise. There could be other situations that also might arise that would need intervention that requires an adult, this was just one example.
IMHO though, DO NOT eliminate your daughter from the enjoyment of taking the dog for a walk. You or the wife also go. Then you will have the opportunity to teach her skills or techniques to use in various situations and enjoy the family activity. |
