Im in total shock as of the last two days . Its been kind of hot and I've enjoyed my dogs company so they have been inside the last few days playing with my daughter who is 2 1/2 . I have two 2 year old german short hair girls and my female white boxer Valentine who is 5 years old. Its been nothing out of the ordnary everyone was having a good time . My daughter and The tree dogs were playing in the front room , I was a few feet from them and out of the blue my boxer jumped up and attacked my daughter. I was so shocked I didn't know what Happened , I thought she had just pushed her back . My daughter was so upset she had bit her lip and is now scared of the box. Well she did not draw blood but grabed my daughter chin and its swelled up to the size of a large grape. Swelling went down now its all pretty colors of purple and has a big scab. Im so upset I don't know what to do. Valentine is the sweetest girl in the world , would never hurt a fry she'd rather lick you to death then hurt anyone. I don't know what caused this behaviour . My daughter did not provoke her any way . She was actualy talking to me about her tennis balls at the time it happened. Im at my wits end. I love my dog she is like my daughter but I got to put my really daughter first . I don't want this to ever happen again , I would have perfered my dog attack me then my child. I just don't understand how this could have happened and now I feel if I don't get rid of the dog , I would be in neglect to my daughter if it happens again. It may be a one time thing and never happen again or its something could happen tomorrow I just don't know if I want to chance it . What do you think ?
