Ohhh. can't remember it now. Involved not being able to look away from Bailey's eyes.

That's "Hi"? Not, "Get. That. Camera. OUT. Of. My. Face."?

What a gorgeous animal!

Curly whiskers!



















(actually I say that to any man with facial hair - it's my chat-up line)

People think our dog Tiny looks vicious. She's big by some people's standards, and has a bit of a pit bull build. We regularly see parents stand between her and their children, pick their children up when we are near, or even cross the street when they see us coming.

But I have never seen a sweeter, more patient dog. She endures my 6 month old daughter on a daily basis, putting up with curious little hands in her ears, nostrils, and even her eyes. She actually comes over to invite this play once or twice a day, laying her head in Beans' lap. When it gets to be too much, she'll gently pull herself away, lick the baby's face and trot off.

If only those people knew how much she'd love to let their kids pet her.

Sweet. :)

Aww she loves her tiny human. That is so nice to see, I can never get tired of seeing kids and dogs/cats interact. My dogs have no idea what tiny humans are.. the youngest they have seen is 16. When they see kids on our walks they jump and bark and whine to go meet... and all that does is scare off the kids and parents. Mine would be good, I just know it, once they knock them down for kisses that is.

Your Beans is one lucky lady to have such a sweet loving babysitter around!

Kids are fun because they always smell and taste interesting. The dog will give her some germs that may save her life someday.:thumb:

Gorgeous video, and a great way to teach a dog and a child to interact (and the dog is doing much of the teaching!)

But I think the other parents are right.
They do not know Tiny. Tiny is an unknown to them, a potential hazard, a potentially fatal hazard.

Same reason I look both ways when crossing a one-way street. You can't trust everyone to be as sensible as you.

Glad Bean has a good, early relationship with an animal. I think they help us be more aware of the way we treat animals for the rest of our lives.

Oh, I agree one should always be cautious with unfamiliar animals. You never know! When kids come up and pet the dogs without asking, I always tell them they should say hello to the human first and ask before they approach a dog in case it's sick or unfriendly.

What saddens me is that so many people seem to jump from "reasonably cautious" to "needlessly afraid."

Aww. It reminds me of Pearl and J's granddaughter. Like most Boston Terriers, Pearl would lick anyone's face at the first opportunity; and the 4-year-old was at face level, so she was an easy target.

Everyone reacted with joy: "She got you!" and little 4-year-old reacted with joy as well.

Thus the love of animals is established.

I hate that I cannot see vids. Win lottery> buy new computer

At least these two make me smile.

AWWW babies! cute pups.

I have owned dogs most of my life and something that was just brought to my attention is the yellow ribbon. I was not aware such a thing existed. If you have a yellow ribbon on your dog, or leash it is a caution to others that the dog is working, sick or might not like strangers. Great idea, in theory.

Ein!!!

Shark dog:p awesome.
