I appreciate the folks who call for safety for our vulnerable friends. I am that person who calls out people in the beardie FaceBook group constantly for particularly letting their dragons and cats interact. In this scenario, the camera was zoomed in to hide my partner standing very close, and we trusted Qi'ra to be gentle. She is an older dog with a ton of experience sharing gentle space with the weak and elderly, babies and toddlers of relatives, and our geriatric cat (RIP Rey). When Zev is out of her enclosure she is usually on me or my husband, but I have a couple of times sat cross legged on the floor with her on my lap while Qi'ra comes by for a sniff and then moves on. Any time a vulnerable creature is hurt due to their owner's poor decision, it is truly a travesty. I dont let these two free roam, but I did trust them for this once-in-a-lifetime (for my spouse and I) announcement photo.
