Right see I have to say I am an animal lover. Have worked witb rescue centres in the past too. My dog is like my baby (I got him before I got pregnant after being told I couldn't have a baby) but he doesn't have his own room and he is very well cared for. I'm very careful how my baby is with him, and never leave them unsupervised. I have to say, the dog is fantastic with my baby, he's so gentle and brings him his toys to play with (baby is 1) he allows the baby to take his toys too. But the difference is, I include my dog in family life in a safe way
