That actually happened to me when I was 3. We had a black lab/german shepherd mix and she dragged me around the house and through the backyard. 17 years later I still have the scars on my ankles from her leash wrapping around my legs. You do not let a child that age handle an animal larger than a guinea pig without an adult right there with them holding the leash or the animal if necessary.

I agree with #39. Kids need to learn how to treat animals. It's the ones who don't who end up getting bitten and being afraid of them their whole lives and raise their kids to be the same way. The kid is fine. Who cares? It's time to train the puppy not to pull the lead. #56, You should train your dog. I hate when people think that when their dog is under 20 lbs that means it's okay for it to be a piece of shit. It's not ******* cute. It should be trained just as well as the pitbull.

39, couldn't agree with you more.

Agree w/ 8.

Today, my uncle(or aunt, whichever) let me try to walk their husky puppy. Know my knees and chin are busted up. FML Ah, someone had to do it.

#66- No, they didn't.

Lol, demon dog.

busted up.

ROFLMAOOL!

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.
