Don't flame me please - I have a real fear of dogs after I was bitten when I was 4.
DS is 6; he is wary of dogs (I assure you this is not through me - we rarely encounter them).
DS has been invited to play at a friends house after school tomorrow . I know the parent as an aquaintance and she seems nice . I have had her DS over to play a few times .
The issue I have is , she has a dog . It's a rescue and I think is a young male boxer ; she hasn't had him very long - maybe about 5 or 6 months .
I don't know the dog so I don't know it's temperament. She does have three other children (for context of how the dog is) .
The mother knows my DS is scared wary of dogs as I have mentioned it .
My DS really wants to go to his friends house and he knows they have a dog . I also know when he sees the dog he will feel scared .
I feel really uncomfortable about this and I don't know if I'm being irrational.
Would you let your DC go?
