So you are sitting at the kitchen table and having a nice morning coffee,
the kids are on the floor rolling around and playing with Fido, all is happy and fun until all of a sudden, Fido starts growling!!

So the correct answer was "C"

A child should be "taught" how to interact and know dog language and understand that a canine will give warning and the child should be able to understand what the warning means and to take appropiate action!

here is a link on age appropiate behaviour for children and how parents/guardians can teach their children "dog language" in an appropiate manner!

I also think this is a great idea, and even better since I got this one right considering we will have a flesh-baby in the house soon.

And thanks for the link, I will be printing that off and giving it a good read. I quickly skimmed it, but looks to be some good info in there. Thanks!
