Dogs and Children
Building Safe Relationships through Dog Bite Prevention
From The Little Rascals to Disney,
the bond between a child and dog is a picture of friendship, happiness
and trust. At Meeting Milo, we believe that a special bond can be created,
and children can have the friend of their dreams. Like any friendship,
the safety and quality means everyone needs to be involved, educated and
responsible.
On one hand, dogs need to become
friendly and well adjusted members of society. Children too need to learn
how to be your dog's best friend. Parents need to stay involved through
supervision and by remaining educated.
At Meeting Milo, we are parents,
and we are dog industry professionals. Our goal is to keep children safe
and to assist you in creating a welcome canine family member. Your child
learns how to behave around dogs and avoid common bite situations. Regardless
if you own a dog or not - your child will benefit from Meeting Milo. As
your child visits friends and relatives, the simple rules wrapped in a
delightful story will be there to act as a guiding principle.
Children
and dogs can make wonderful friends to one another, and we encourage you
to take steps to make it happen in your home. Just as you teach children
to, "Look both ways before crossing the road," and use a booster
seat in the car, dog bite prevention is a critical step in keeping children
safe.
