I couldn’t agree more ?
An issue that’s very close to me as I got bitten by a dog some weeks ago. All I was doing was standing there. He got me on the back of the hand. A nasty bite.
I’ve never been frightened of dogs but after this incident I don’t even pat my friends dog.

I completely agree with you. I can’t get my head round how any responsible adult would stand back and take a photo while a dog is in such close proximity to a little baby. I would include any breed of dog not just that one. The baby just needs to make a sudden move and the dog could be startled enough to pounce.,

More and more people are buying dogs, particularly some of the more unpredictable breeds, American Bully etc.
It’s one thing to own such a dog with children in the home but to post pictures like this, putting a child in danger and trying to humanise the animal is in my opinion abuse.
The child is at great risk.
AIBU?
