The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for January 24, 2024

It’s a good thing you didn’t bite him. Even if he deserved it.

He’s never been taught better. The kid, that is. The dog is good.

Let me guess who runs the house.

You’re both potentially right.

Hey kiddo, don’t ruff me up.

You have a stupid mother kid.

Not dangerous, but getting really aggravated. The kid is lucky all Koko did was bark.

The trouble with kids that hurt a dog, is when the dog defends itself the dog gets the blame.

RESPECT FIRST AND THEN YOU WILL BE RESPECTED…KOKO… YOU ARE RIGHT !!!

Keep kids on a leash, not dogs.

A neighbour has a large husky, that likes vigorous back rubs. He begins a low growl, that frightened my wife, but is actually a husky purr.

Parents have to teach their children to be kind to animals and do not take it for granted an animal won’t protect itself.

Children need to learn early to be gentle with pets. And, of course, ask the owner if the dog is friendly.

I’m lucky my dog is tall enough to look that kind of kid in the eye. Parents won’t let their kid near such a big dog.

Never bite if a bark will do.
