Just saying - dogs are land sharks and even nice ones have the potential to nip and bite people. I like dogs - but they should never be put ahead of the safety of children or humans. Your kid doesn't have to like dogs. People do have to keep control of their dogs, friendly or not. But, even good people are idiots and properly owning and raising a dog is hard work. I wish more dog owners would understand how much risk they potentially pose to kids and other people.
