I'm with Canis-Lupess on this. The dog is not the agressor. If the parents don't teach the kids to leave the dog alone, THEY are at fault.

I would have expecteed the toddlers to get the message when their actions caused them pain. Even puppies understand that if they get hurt doing something, don't do it again. As for the kid falling off the bed onto the dog, that was hard to avoid. Maybe the dog needs a kennel to get away from everyone when he needs to. And teach the kids the kennel is the dog's safe place; Leave him alone when he's in there.

I had to laugh at the "Tongue in cheek" post.
