I babysat grandson (15 months old) the other day, and after his dad came home we sat and talked. I watched the baby interact with their huge dog. Baby took the dog's bones one at a time out of dog's crate, and put them in dog's mouth, then pulled them out. Occasionally dog would bite down on one just a little, to give some resistance. After baby put the last bone in dogs mouth, he then stuck it in his own mouth and chewed on it. He then stuck his other hand in the dogs mouth. The dog bit down ever so gently. Baby pulled at the dog's big floppy lips, with the dog tolerating it all happily.
Then baby found a plastic drinking straw and poked it in first his mouth, then the dog's, then back. I eventually intervened when he decided to poke the straw up the dog's nose.
Earlier, I had watched baby walk across the floor, stop, plop down and pick something off the bottom of his bare foot, stick it in his mouth, get up and start walking again. I don't know what it was. Hopefully a raisin?
They say a kid raised around animals is healthier. I hope so. This child's parents will never be accused of keeping their house too clean.

Kids and dogs belong ttogether
Husbands dog is 9 now. He was a youngster when Grandson #1 came along and 3 years letter #2 joined he harassment! He tolerated so much! Even had times when all three of them crammed into his kennel.
