Dogs and kids may get along really well but sometimes it can lead to unwanted scenarios.
Having a dog in the family can be a blessing but not every time. When you have toddlers in the family, you should be very careful. Dogs love babies but you never know, when your dog shows its dangerous side. Dogs can get aggressive out of the blue and you can never predict their mood. Kids might be playing with their floof and they would get aggressive at your babies. So, parents should be careful; when their kids are around dogs. A Reddit user shared that she cannot risk leaving her toddler alone with their dog. One day, OP had to shower so she set the dog in an area. When her husband saw this, he got angry with his wife and he thinks that cats can be aggressive but dogs cannot harm babies. Scroll down for the complete story.
