do animals prefer you?

" The Alaskan malamute club of the United Kingdom describes the dogs as "affectionate, friendly, loyal" on its website. The breed is not listed under the Dangerous Dogs Act."

And if as you say the babies are being brought into the poor dogs' space, then this is argument enough for dogs being banned.  No-one can ever predict whether a dog will react like that to a new human presence in the house (or an existing one).  Each animal will have it's own level of personal space and what it would feel was goading.  If a baby making noises from it's crib is enough to turn the dog savage then this more than adequately highlights what I said further up the thread.
