MINES! Mines curly rawhide bacon thing!! It's a baby/puppy battle for the ages: Who will claim the delicious chewy chew-chew for his very own?! Hey, wait a sec ... I have a dog, and I've had a couple of babies, and that chewy chew-chew came from the pet store, not the toy store. Meaning that dried-up hunk of curly meat is fit for canine consumption, not human consumption ... ewww.
Okay, okay -- to be fair, both babies and puppies put EVERYTHING in their mouths and when you consider what horrific objects the average baby ends up gnawing on at some point or another, I guess a twirly rawhide ain't so bad. Still, should such sharing between species be encouraged?
Probably not, but honestly, I can't blame this mom for letting the camera roll for a few minutes before stopping the slobber fest. They're just soooo cute!!! And hey, aren't dogs' mouths supposed to be cleaner than humans' mouths?
Just watch:
See what I mean? So ridiculously adorable, I'd have a tough time breaking this fight up myself. Um, all's fair in love and building up baby's immune system?
What would you do if your baby got ahold of a dog toy?

This was awesome!! I love how Mom was all of a sudden "oh, no, no, no!!" when the baby went to chew on the ooey-gooey dog-chewed end!! And I love MORE how the dog wasn't in the least bit phased by the child trying to steal his treat!!
My mother-in-law said that when you have your first baby, you sterilize everything until you find your child on the floor teething on his or her daddy's work boots. That's when you relax a little, or else you start sterilizing the work boots, too!
I'd be more worried about the dog getting mad and biting the baby. I wouldn't freak out though... but I'd probably grab the gooey end before the baby got it. Mostly because I would be grossed out!
I didn't "let" it happen, but I found dog toys in my sons mouth all the time. And I didn't flip out. It's a dog's mouth, not a sewage pit. A dog's mouth is no worse than our own (some even say it's better!), and exposure to germs is imporant anyway. As long as your dog is in good health, who cares.
there is a pic of my niece doing the exact same thing with her mother's great pyrenees (massive dog). the poor dog didn't know what to do when the baby stole her toys. she had this look on her face like "mom! kenzie is stealing my toys! make her share!" they are more like siblings than girl and dog.
Yeah, I'd maybe be more ok with it if it wasn't a dried bull penis. We had a newborn and six week old puppy at the same time (note: NOT the smartest thing we ever did). Chewtoys--not so dissimilar from teethers. They shared a lot of spit.
