Butch Femme Planet - View Single Post - Poll: Should owners of dogs that kill people be prosecuted for murder?

How many of you are protective of your dog in terms of other people? Although my little guy has never displayed any behavior that he would bite, I am really cautious about things like kids petting him. I always get down next to him and hold his head for the kid to pet him. Also, he wiggles a lot, but I don't want him to jump on anyone (even if he is only 24 pounds) or do a dog smooch and have a kid move and a tooth (he's a bulldog- they stick out) land anywhere the wrong way.

I just don't want any problems. I know some of this is related to not wanting some dumb accidental thing to send a parent into a freak-out, even if they said it was OK for their kid to pet him. LOL, actually, I trust my dog more than people I don't know in terms of this!

Looks like criminal charges are being brought against the owner of one of the dogs here involved in the recent 2 dog maulings. I don't have all the facts yet.. will post when I do. One child was killed and another mauled in the face. Horrible.
