    I agree that this is what a well trained dog would do, but for the most 
part the general lay person with backyard pets do not have well trained dogs. 
It only takes one child to be mauled for this to be a tragedy, how many 
children will see this and follow this example? Most of the dogs out there 
are not the well bred even tempered dogs that we have. I just think there are 
better ways they could have presented this commercial, there are a lot of 
different ways that I child and a dog can get dirty together. Children have 
the tendency to tease dogs, and children and dogs can be unpredictable at 
times as can any animal.
