If you’re a ‘dog family’ it’s probably difficult to imagine any sort of life without your fur babies. Big or small, and in between, dogs have an astounding way of working their way into our lives. When you get a dog, it’s amazing how quickly they change your life (in a good way!) and all of the new aspects of your life now revolve around your furry best pal.
Perhaps you used to sleep in in the mornings—not anymore, mornings are for walks! It’s also unlikely that you will ever eat a meal at home again without an audience and if you’re like me, you even sneak your buddy some food now and then. Finally your nice big bed may not seem so big with a couple of pups in it, and you may have searched for a larger one.
Your dog may have changed your life and even your perspective, but a child will do that and more. Some people have dogs as ‘practice’ for raising children but after having a child, they realize that nothing is better for a child than a loving relationship with their favorite pooch.
Dogs can make wonderful companions and playmates for children. They love playtime, can be watchful protectors of little ones, and provide endless amounts of love, companionship, and entertainment. The bond between a dog and a child can be incredibly special, perhaps because they share innocence and the capacity to live fully in the moment. And let’s face it, having a dog around to pick up all of the dropped food is pretty convenient.
Keep in mind that dogs and children should be socialized properly and all children should be taught to interact correctly with animals. Children should never be left unattended with any dog.
