[QUOTE="klmno, post: 430724, member: 3699"] I totally agree that some breeds are usually better for kids- goldens being one. But if you're going for a medium to large sized dog, you might want to wait until your son is a little older and bigger. The other thing to keep in mind- loving a pet doesn't necessarily mean a young child will be well adept to treating the animal the way it needs to be treated- it depends on how your son's problems manifest themselves. But in general terms, pets are very good for children, in my humble opinion, in many areas of development and they can be a real godsend for kids with "issues". Not to mention, even though it's usually us moms that end up taking care of the pet, they probably have been as good for helping me cope as they have with bringing something to difficult child's life.
