Now even being a responsible dog owner can only cover your end to a point when it comes to children i belive Murphy's Law was based on them "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong". There was a little boy who lived near my house who played with my kids this boy was Dennis The Menace in the flesh. Cruel to animals beat them teased my hounds throwing rocks i ran him off and talked with his Grandpa he was not allowed here again. But none the less i was working in the yard and the dogs barking caught my attention. I looked towards the yard i see him crying sitting in the chain spot of a high strung yearling my stomach dropped. I took off towards him and noticed the chain wrapped around his legs so i slow to a tip toe so she wouldn't become excited and hurt him any further. She responded slow and gentle when approaching me i was still terrified i untangled him and ran him home. I set him down his Grandpa and i checked him for injuries not a scratch shook up but not so much as a bruise. What he did have was shit on his hair in his ears on his face im talking head to toe . I belive he learned his lesson that day and taught me one as well never under estimate the blind curiosity of a child.
