I think is terrifying. I love my dogs but they are still dogs. Even if this GSD loves his/her baby and would never hurt it. It's still teaching the baby to take food from a dog. The next dog might grab the baby by the face/hand. Either way it's a recipie for disaster and the parents are setting up both the dog and their baby for failure.

It a nice temperamented dog who is not fazed by the childs actions. Signs of a good dog.

But good dog or not.

My offspring, would personally never be exposed to that situation.

I will never allow my skin babies (if or when I have them) to ever be that close or vulnerable while a dog is eating.
and
I will never subject my dogs to that sort of torment. My dogs allow me to touch their bones, and food, and do whatever I want to manipulate it. But that doesn't make it fair to continuously do so just because I can.

I am more food aggressive than my dogs. Touch my filet mignon or Crab legs and I WILL BITE you! I don't want my dogs to feel that same way.

plus.... setting aside the fact that the dog is a potential danger to the child.

what about the dog food.
what if that dog food happened to be a recalled bag with salmonella?

sorry there are just so many things wrong with that video.

I was floored by how gentle the dog was with the baby. And not happy with the parents for allowing the baby to continue to mess with the dog's food. And yeah, it was pretty gross to see the baby munch down some of that kibble!

Very Good Dog - Stupid Parents- plus we all know about bacteria in dog food. Yuk.

I think that the parents trust the dog. Cujo would probably be very similar with the three little nieces, but we would never try it. And it is not good to mess with a dog while eating, not just aggressive or food guarding, but that could contribute to bloat.

But whatever, the dog is a good solid dog with the baby.

My four year old niece fell off of the couch on top of Cujo's back legs. That had to have hurt. He growled a little but did not snap or bite. Some dogs would have. If the baby and dog live together, the parents should have a good feel for what the dog and child will do.

As for letting the kid play with kibble???? Well, if it is your first kid, you sterilize everything. If it is your second kid you rinse things off. If it is your fifth kid, you spit on it twice and rub it against your pant leg. Kids have put worse things than dog kibble in their hands and mouthes.

LOL, well I suppose if they are feeding Orijen it's okay if the baby eats a little...

So true.....lol. Who doesn't remember their mother licking their finger and using it to rub something off your face? I know I do.
I wouldn't encourage this as a normal course of life, but it is nice to see that the dog is so good about it. I know Gunnar wouldn't care and wouldn't react, but I'm not sure yet about Cass or Chrissy. (Hope I never have to find out)

I trusted Zeus with my son- only if I'm in the same room. Although I wouldn't have allowed my son to play with his food bowl like that, Zeus was fed raw.

I think the gsd in that video showed exceptional behavior. I don't get what the big deal is

Beautiful, patient, stable dog.
IDIOT parents.
