    Dogs may pose a problem at times but they affect your health more than you think:

    Dog owners can revel in the fact that research studies report a link between dog ownership and reduced stress and improved health for their human companions. There’s nothing like the loyalty and unconditional love of a dog to balance the fast-paced, high tech nature of life today. Whatever you have to deal with, when you come home and your dog rushes to greet you with his tail wagging, the troubles of the day melt away.

    Good Dog Panda!!

    It’s not always Pits that bite people. All dogs have the potential to be aggressive.
    Just make sure you study their behavior and their breeders. that is what will determine how the dog will be in the future.

    No I wasnt being sarcastic, your child should get a settlement if she gets mauled by a dog and has scars.

    I agree. The child should get a settlement if the attack was unprovoked. But I must stress the CHILD should get a settlement, meaning that any money above and beyond medical bills should be put in a trust for when the child is older. The child may opt for plastic surgery as an adult to fix any permanent scarring, and the money in the trust would be perfect for that. I also must stress UNPROVOKED. If some kid keeps messing with a dog and the parents do not tell the child to stop, then don’t blame the dog when it’s insticts kick in and it bites the child. Blame the parents who did not teach their children how to act around animals or the child who chooses not to listen to their parent’s warnings.

    One can only hope and pray for that solution Reagan. That’s for the great response Gwen.
