    When I was a toddler I followed my dog into the woods. I don’t have any memory of it but my parents said I was gone for hours and then suddenly we both just came walking out, perfectly fine. Thanks, Andy, for protecting me that day.

    Again? That’s twice in a week!

    What keeps compelling toddlers from Michigan to run off into the woods with their family’s dogs?

      If you were stuck in Michigan and didn’t have a phone to scroll lemmy, you’d go explore the woods with your gigantic battle dog, wouldn’t you?

        I also don’t think human should pet animals and keep them in there homes, history has told us how many virus and disease human had caught due to domestication of animal, dogs are loyal but they are always ready to attack strangers who come near their owner/family. Cats are major problem for nature they are unbalancing the biodiversity, they are hunter/predators after all!, even Australia is going to ban pet cats from going outdoor source, from npr. Due to domestication of cattle we got cow pox and now cow are exploited for their milk and meat by big cooperation which is not good at all and that why i became vegan, covid 19 also came from animal. Sheep are exploited for their wool they are kept in thousand in small places. Watch this video. Birds are kept trapped in a cage for decorating owns home, they should be kept free, they like to fly.

    Springers are mad as a box of frogs but usually quite intelligent. Rotties tend to be very protective, loyal dogs, so I’m not surprised the toddler was found with them. Good boys!
