When it comes to pets and small children there’s often a concern about whether or not they can get along. Sometimes it’s about finding kid-friendly pets, and other times you can blame issues on less than pet-friendly kids! But in the cases below you’ll find a lot of love and curiosity in these adorable photos of kid-pet duos.

These are so very adorably cute.... love the one where the kid and the cat are staring at the fish in the bowl...
great pics - out of that seems like a big discussion has splurged
I think it depends on the pet owner - on how u *raise/teach/train* your dogs/kids/cats.
Naysayers - each pet is different. And if you've never made a cat/dog/pet unhappy in your life, then you shall be the first to cast a stone. I'd say the only one that looks unpleasant for the pet is the last one, and I'd say it probably wasn't that horrible. I highly doubt mommy/daddy/grandma/grandpa taking the picture would allow a their child to stick their hands into the dog's mouth if the dog was prone to biting. And I doubt the child would have pulled the tongue out that far if the dog were prone to biting either.
You think that puppies are safer than full grown dogs? Puppies have sharper teeth and less restraint and understanding! And the mad kitty ... well, I'd say Grandpa had a good hold on him, and he's gotta get used to the baby someday! And the baby's gotta get used to the claws, or learn how to avoid them. A few claws never really hurt me, or my little one, and I know both her and I both felt our fair share of them as we grew up!
Kudos! I really liked the kid kissing the pig. Very unique. I hope the kid didn't really kiss it though. LOL. Poor thing.
Wow, some of these animals are very patient.
Most of these pictures are awesome! I do agree, though, that the cat in the second-to-last picture looks pretty pissed off, and also that babies shouldn't be around fully-grown dogs unsupervised. (However, the fact that there is someone with the ability to operate a camera in the room pretty much negates the danger.)
Also, to Hendrick Lubbe: Chill out, man. No one was saying anything to provoke that wall of indignant text there. "All you folks coming up with some form of criticism, are you pet owner’s your self’s? If you are, how is it that in my 50 years of life, none of my family’s or my own pet’s have EVER attacked or molested any child, even my own?" Yes, I am a pet owner and know my cat well enough to understand that while he is a very tolerant feline, he has a breaking point and will scratch or bite. He's a *cat*. That's what they do. Animals have different personalities, just like humans do: some are more relaxed or more violent than others.
Just my two cents.
they are lovely.i like them.=)
simply adorable ... love the pics
some pets don't llike kids and it has nothing to do with how you raise the pet. I have a cat who is the most loving cat in the world to me, he even sleeps on my head. but he absolutely HATES kids, even just the site of them makes him hiss. there is no reason for this, I've had him since he was 8weeks old and know the family who I got him from.
as for dogs, some dogs are great with kids, some aren't. again I don't think this is always how you raise them. we had a siberian husky who was great with kids. when kids would nap she'd jump in the playpen with them :)
either way, I love my pets, but some of these pets are displeased... you can see it in they're body language. I think a good owner should know when it's enough and remove the pet from the situation. the kid grabbing the dogs tongue? it looks like the dog is bothered but not enough to bite the kid. probably okay, but you SHOULD be teaching your kid it is not okay to grab an animal's tongue and dig your nails into it. the cat? looks like it's about to pounce on the kid's face. the owner obviously knows by the way it's holding the cat back so I'm going to say it's also a decently safe situation.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I just had a hard day and these photos just renewed my belief in people and what they can do when they try.
Very cute!!! :)
