I think that children should always be raised with animals.especially dogs.
Having animals at an early age helps children develop better communications skill and helps them understand other peoples emotions . having pets help them teach responsibilities.Studies shows children with pets happier than othe children.also teaches children to compassionate to otheres.
i think pets are more good for children if they both are at young age,they both will grow up to happy and very protective of each other.
what you think?

Pets can be an alternative for children to show their love. I do agree with you.

I too think that children should have dogs.
I don't even have to tell my now 9 year old twins to feed and water the dog...they fight over who gets to do it (and we have had him for 3 years).
I think that caring for something smaller than you are gives you a sense of responsibility and nuturing.

I think what you are saying is very very true about how it teaches children responsibility and stuff but sometimes I think it is very unfair on the dog.
Dogs do loved to be loved and do take alot of care and I think sometimes people that have small children can n ot give the full care and responsibility that is needed for the children once the baby has got all its looking after.
I suppose it is all an act of balance between it all and if a family cna achieve that then that is fantastic but I just hate the thought of a dog becoming more of a hindrance because a baby is ill or the baby needs fed.
Dogs need a home where they can get all the attention they need.
