Dogs and cats with my 3 kids I am always shocked at people that get rid of the animals cause their having a baby.
What a loss for the child!

That dog was so protective that they could leave me alone in the front yard if they had to go in the house. While they were around the dog would mind her own business, but the second they weren't, she would come over and park herself right next to my baby seat and not move until they came back out. My mom said a neighbor once told her, "I wouldn't want to be the person who tries to touch that baby."

Indeed, dogs just know.
