I(25female) have a 1 year old kid with my bf Hank(24m and fake name). Hank doesn't like dogs at all and I happen to own one. A German shepherd, but lucky for him we don't live together so he doesn't have to Interact with my dog.
Anyways something bad happened to my dog yesterday and she ended up with a broken leg. Fast forward till today and my dog Is laying on the floor and daughter Is In the same room. I also have my sister over. My daughter just recently started learning to walk so she Is a bit wobbly and falls quite a lot.
I wasn't paying attention and didn't notice her wobbling over to the dog. She got to the dog and fell over directly on the dog's broken leg. The dog yelped and barked at my daughter. No teeth were shown and didn't snarl. The dog got up and just left the room.
My daughter was startled but didn't even cry. I fully blame myself for that since I wasn't paying attention. My sister was spooked and she just so happens to also not be a dog person. I told her not to tell Hank because he would make It a bigger problem.
She said she wouldn't but did anyways. Hank found out and went off on me. Saying my dog was dangerous and he would call animal control. My mom found out and she said to just get rid of the dog to calm everything down. I said absolutely not and that It was just an accident.
I wouldn't allow my daughter near the dog for the time being so as to avoid that happening again. Hank has not dropped It and he actually did call animal control which went no where. Also my daughter and dog have a good relationship. The dog came back Into the living not long after and sat In the same spot.
I feel extremely bad for both my dog and my daughter. Am I wrong?
