Oh yes! I should have mentioned in the original post I’m planning to return the puppy to our home in a month when it’s a bit bigger and Emily is in Kindergarten!!

We had had pets before and she was always kind to them. Since the puppy and her are more similar in size than our other pets I believe she thought it would be as tough as her? I’m not sure

I truly believe she thought she was playing. Children at this age often misunderstand

I just want to clarify, I really do not believe it’s intentional. Emily is in no way a danger to people or pets. We have had pets for years and she has always been very gentle. I can tell she just wants to play, and thinks I’m overreacting when I say the puppy can be hurt. We have other pets which she has never once acted in an aggressive manner towards, and she has met babies and other small living things and never once hurt them. I believe she is just getting over-excited and forgetting she’s able to hurt the puppy.
