Whether you're bringing a baby into the world when you already have a dog, or you're planning on introducing a pup into your family, there are many things to consider.
Your main priority is keeping your baby safe, but there's also no doubt that a dog can be an incredible addition to the family. Taking care of a dog can teach your child to express empathy, get exercise and also have a lot of fun.
If you're looking for a dog, you might be searching for specific breeds that claim to be "good with children". If you do, a whole host of suggestions will come up on the internet, like Labradors, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and Staffordshire Bull Terriers.
