Today, I let my 5 year-old niece walk my 3 month-old husky puppy while I watched. I didn't realize how strong my puppy actually is until she took off running while dragging my niece with her. My niece now has two busted up knees and chin and her mother is now calling my puppy "demon puppy." FML

Hey you guys, the OP here! I just wanted to clear some things up. My puppy is very sweet. She has never pulled anyone else while on the leash. She's actually one of the most timid dogs I've ever owned and yes, I have owned dogs before and I know the breed. But because she is a puppy anomaly and doesn't pull, I thought it would be ok for my niece to walk her as I walked next to them. Also, this took place in my fenced off back yard. I do however have a stone terrace, which is where my niece got pulled over on. I know that my niece getting hurt is probably my fault and I've now learned that my puppy goes crazy when there are squirrels in sight. I've apologized to my sister-in-law. My niece is fine, she was back up and playing within minutes, but her mother wont let her near my puppy and I got a talking to. So, hope that clears some things up for you guys.

I clicked both "I agree, your life is f***ed" and "you deserved that one". While you didn't know its strength, you should *not* have let your niece handle it.

Stupid that she's not allowed near the puppy anymore. The puppy didn't mean any harm, your niece probably barely even cared about getting hurt, and her mom is just feeding a possible fear for puppies and/or dogs.

As the owner of two siberian huskies, you definitely deserved that one. The one i have had since a puppy had been wicked strong since i got him at 8 weeks, let alone anytime after that.

#40. Nobody cares about you being a vet student. And OP, you should have walked with the (unpredictable) puppy and the niece, even held onto the leash as well. A puppy, especially a husky puppy is obviously going to be fairly strong and energetic, they could knock over a 5 year old, not to mention drag them with the leash.. It's true that it's not the puppy's fault, it's yours.

Let's put this in perspective: Would YOU want to walk a dog 3/4 or even 1/2 your own size? I should hope you would know to be careful in a situation like that. So I have no idea why you would let your niece walk a dog that close to her size, knowing small children are ill-adept at looking out for their own safety, and that it's nearly impossible to make a puppy stop running. I would never let a five-year-old handle anything bigger than a teacup dog. While you life is ******, YDI as well. Sadly your niece didn't, and I hope her knees and chin heel soon.

#43 - I was responding to a comment by another person. Not intended for you, or anyone else, but that person.

this reminds me of the 7 or 8 year old kids i always see walking rottweilers. it's a reeeeaaaally bad idea.

A lot of people are being way to over protective of little kids. They get hurt from time to time, hopefully they learn something when they do, like dropping the leash when a dog big enough to drag them starts running.

whatthehell?! why would you ever do that?! YDI. it's not the puppy's fault, you should've had more common sense then that.

I agree with #5. 5 years old sou8nds a little young to be walking a dog without you being right there, not just watching from a distance. And especially if you don't know the strength of your dog. Huskys are pretty strong, even as puppies.

Ugh, people are stupid. 3-month-old Huskies can't be all that strong. Here we go again with the "Huskies were bred for pulling" garbage. Listen, people, Huskies that pull sleds do so in packs as full-grown adults and are trained for that. 3-month-old untrained Husky puppies are not sled-pullers. Should the OP have let a 5-year-old handle a dog? No, but I still don't think the mother should be calling the damn dog a demon. That's just stupid.
