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?

Wouldn't be worried much if it was a dog *toy*, like plastic or something, but isn't that rawhide or animal product? Salmonella there! We have 2 large dogs and a baby, and I really don't care if she gets ahold of their stuffy's or plastic bones on occasion (at this age she now likes to go "give" them to the dogs...) but we're very careful that she doesn't get into their food or treats.
I wouldn't worry about the "germs" as much, but would worry about the dog being posessive of the treat and biting the baby. I am due with my first in 4 weeks and as much as I trust my dog, and he's very laid back and not dominant at all, you just never know. I plan on establishing bounderies for the dog to respect as far as the baby is concerned, but also to treat the baby from the very beginning to respect the dog's bounderies too. Especially when it comes to his food and treats, I teach her to give them to her so he learns she is a "provider" but will definitely discourage getting in his face while eating.
