Besides spoiling my 17 week old bullie baby, Bridget, I am raising 3 boys. My 7 year old, H, came home from school a couple days ago flipping out over something bad happening to Bridget. He was absolutely inconsolable. (I have to admit he is my drama queen) ... what I finally got out of him was that some neighborhood boy convinced H that bulldogs were a vicious breed and that one day our dog would have to be put down when she hurts somebody. Needless to say, I've been ready to explode ever since.
H and I talked at length about how this was not true. Of course, he came home yesterday upset again. Like any other kid who has been wronged, he confronted said child that his information was untrue. Well the child countered that bullies could kill small children and so would our Bridget when she is full grown.
So before I completely lose it over the stupidity of others, does anybody have any advice on how to approach resolving this and reassuring my little guy? He is heartbroken.
Thank you! -Jane (Bridget's mom)
