Photos of Pets And Kids: Charming Love

View Comments

• I LOVE these photos!!

  I have a few 'awwww-able' photos of my 2 cats and my daughter. They adore her and she adores them, its been like that since day 1. Obviously I don't leave them alone (and those kids aren't alone so its not dangerous - unless you think cameras can operate themselves nowadays?) but I love watching my 11 1/2 month old daughter and youngest cat snuggled up together and her playing with his ears.

  Most dogs and cats will become quite protective of a small child, all my dogs have been protective of me and my cats are protective of my daughter.

• I have a ferret. I believe they are quite safe to have around children. They are very timid creatures, but yet so are kittens. I like dogs but I have always been a little leary of them, but Golden retrievers are good with children though.

• All animals are different. There is no guarantee that an animal will attack a child. It depends on the personality and experiences of the animal.
  I think that children need to be supervised while around animals simply because it's the nature of children to provoke an animal (not because the child means harm, but out of curiosity) and it is the nature of animals to attack when provoked, but it's obvious that there is supervision if they are being photographed.
  I must testify that I have a 6 year old Golden Retriever whom I've had since he was 6 weeks old and I have a 4 year old son. Neither my wife nor myself left our son unattended for even a moment at any point with our dog until very recently, although we knew that our dog was well-trained, well-behaved, and friendly. When my son was developing, he would often pull the dog's tail, ears, yank on tufts of fur, lay on top of him, and when he was 2 an a half he even tried to ride the dog as a "horsey", but not once did my dog so much as growl at my son.
  Every animal is different with children. Until you know your animal's tendencies when confronted with a kid and your child's when confronted with a beast, don't leave them to play alone. It's as simple as that.

• I hate children. The animals by themselves would have been good though.

• P.S. for crying out loud people cant you see an adorable picture of a kid and a puppie and say "awwww!" instead of getting in the parents face about the dangers of puppies and anything else you can think of (Taking their picture an cause cancer!)

• What great photos. I loved them all. Thanx for sharing.

• To all of you people saying "blah blah blah pets are dangerous for babies to be around"
  Do you really think the parents would let their children around animals they didn't fully trust? None of these pictures suggests aggression, or the baby being in danger in any way. Aside from the cat in the second to last picture, but you can clearly see a man holding the cat back.
  Also, a picture doesn't fully tell the story. The cat could just be a bit wary or nervous, not necessarily about to strike. I'm sure if the cat were growling or something the parents wouldn't let the baby get that close.
  Now why don't you stop criticizing every damn picture you see on the internet and just enjoy them, and appreciate the beauty of the bond between an animal and a child. For goodness' sake.

• Also, picture number #19 is easily my favorite. I think it's soooo cute.

  The only picture I would really criticize is the first one. Your cat's paw is obviously not the most sanitary chew toy. Especially considering the time they spend digging in the litter box. Gross, but still cute.

• oh my goodness i think my heart just melted
