Kid Friendly Dogs -

What Parents Should Consider Before Getting A Dog For The Kids

Peter Jaeckle
ISBN 0895320703
Kids and dogs often make for great childhood memories. But they also can create nightmares of fear. Every year thousands of small children are bitten by their very own pet. Over 80 percent of all dog bites involve children. What can parents do to prevent such horrific experiences? How can they assure a happy relationship between their children and the family pet?

Dog experts disseminate conflicting advice. A kid friendly dog in one list shows up in another as a vicious kid eater. This can leave parents confused and feeling helpless. It does not have to be so.

In his capacity as dog evaluator the author has tested thousands of dogs of all breeds. Many of them from 'difficult' breeds. Based on his experience and extensive studies of dog and child interactions he cuts a path through the jungle of conflicting and confusing opinions.

Armed with facts and criteria discussed in this booklet, parents now have guidelines to apply to the process of selecting a good family dog. A well selected family dog makes for a harmonious and happy relationship between your children and their canine companion. This brief manual gets you started on the right way.

Remembering the Founder

The King Is Dead – Long Live The King!

Windsor King MacArthur, editor and main contributor to this blog, unexpectedly crossed the Rainbow Bridge on June 18, 2008. He was at least 14 years old.

He succumbed to degenerative myelopathy, an insidious disorder of the spinal cord and nervous system for which there is no known cure.

His passing is not only a blow to his blog but also a great personal loss for me.

After eluding death in a shelter eight years ago, he spent the second half of his life as my faithful, ever present companion. Gentle, considerate, self-disciplined, with great love for people, a loyal paladin in good times and bad, my truly unique, irreplaceable best friend dedicated many of his later years to the rehabilitation of old, disadvantaged, aggressive dogs. His selfless service touched the lives of countless dogs leaving indelible impressions on theirs. The need for a wheelchair did not stop him. He passed away returning from rescue duty.

Windsor was a veritable service dog.

But most of all, Windsor will be remembered for his love of women. He spent his last truly happy lucid moments petted and caressed by a young female friend. He gave her his last broad, happy smile and his final joyous Boxer noises.

His euphoric smile and his jubilant noises shall stand as his memorial in my heart.
And the changed lives of dogs he touched bear witness to his greatness.
