I wish that law was back in my home town.
I saw a 7yr old walk her dog to near death! She didn't understand what she was doing wrong, but the limp dog proved that children shouldn't be walking dogs.
I don't know HOW many dogs go away from kids & I'm not talking large dogs either. So many if not most were NOT friendly. I had to kick so many dogs its not funny. I even had to kick a JRT, as it tried to attack the weak old dog I was walking. The kid was about 9, His mother came out of the house & yelled at me & I said if stop talking I wont call the police & say tour dog attacked us (which it did). That dog came at me 3 other times... They no longer have a dog, they were forced to get rid of it.
My old dog was attacked by a JRT on a walk, a Golden on our walk & some kind of a lab mix & several other smaller dogs, ALL were walked by kids!
My parents wouldn't let my sister walk our dog until she was strong & old enough. The first time she walked him while we were camping was her last for many years. Max was 6 & he tried to take on 2 grown men (honestly it was a good thing, hes wasn't a bad dog, he was just VERY protective), he didn't try to pull away from my sister, but she didn't know what to do, she ran back crying.
