So back story, I've had my dog since he was 3 months old and is now 3 years old. My kid is 2 years old going on 3 in December. They've never had an issue before the two of them were best buddies until about 3 weeks ago when my dog bit my baby. It honestly was my kiddo's fault because he chased him into a corner under kitchen table and kept hitting him. My dog, who has never bitten anyone before, bit my kids leg pretty good. My kid is now traumatized and would scream everytime he saw the dog so I made arrangement to give him away. This after 2 weeks of sleepless nights and multiple headaches. I found someone who was willing to take my sweet boy at church and handed him over this past Sunday. AITA for giving him away or am I doing what's best for my kid?

Not sure where the picking came in ?

I have a 4 year old autistic grandson.
He and the family dog have had their run ins...
Almost as if they were brothers....

The 2 of them -- Along with guidance, and supervision -- have set boundaries for each other that both of them seem to poke and prod at from time to time.

I guess a lot depends upon the breed and what it's capable of..?

It seems the choice was already made though.
Anyway, I hope the boy is alright and the dog well taken care of at it's new home.

Wait a minute...., It doesn't actually say whether you gave your kid or dog away....

Is this a trick post ?

Fuck ! That was a good one....
Got me...
