[QUOTE="donna723, post: 292923, member: 1883"] You know, I wondered the same thing, how the dog got the baby out of the crib? Maybe they had a doggie door and he got outside that way, but unless it was a Great Dane or something, I can't picture it being able to get a baby out of a crib! Did they specifically [I]say[/I] that the baby was in a crib and not in a swing or something where the dog could reach it? It doesn't quite add up to me either. I was at my daughter's house when my grandson was a newborn and I keep thinking about their set-up and how unlikely that would be. They have two (mostly) well-behaved good-sized dogs but it would be physically impossible for either one of them to do that, much less be able to jump all the way over the side into the crib and grab up the baby. Now if you left a newborn alone on a sofa or in a chair or a swing maybe they could, but not in a crib with the side up! Their male dog has only a passing interest in the baby, not too concerned, but he would [I]never[/I] harm him. But the female, who always loved both my daughter and sister in law equally, became strictly my daughters dog while she was pregnant. Never left her side! Somehow they just [I]know[/I]. And when they brought the baby home ... she adores him, [I]very[/I] protective of him. When he's napping, you can occasionally hear it on the baby monitor as her toenails tap on the wood floors of his room when she goes in to 'check on him'. She's almost [I]reverent[/I] of him and knows she doesn't touch him without permission. When they sit down with him in the living room, she sits right there - she wants to see him and check him out to make sure he's OK. Then after she checks him out, she's allowed to kiss him on the ear a few times. He will be a very lucky little boy growing up with lots of puppy kisses - she will probably be his best buddy when he's older. I'm rambling - but my point is ... those dogs are extremely aware that he is a little [I]person[/I], not some kind of toy! He even smells like a person, not a plastic toy!
