Taking the facts as true, who in their right mind places a baby animal with a partially paralyzed child? My thoughts would be FIRST for the animals safety, as that is what I signed on for when I brought them into my home, and the LIKELIHOOD of injury is with the pup, rather than the child.>>>>>>.

I agree, THe puppy is to young to be left
un-supervised with a young child whether or not the child
was partially parayzed.

(lets hope the story is fiction)

P.S.
Given an entirely different scenero:
Even an adult dog can be harmed by a very young
child, and the dog may protect itself by using it's teeth.

Why take the chance?
