I have a toddler, and a 14 year old dog I’ve had since she was a puppy. She doesn’t like kids. She doesn’t like my kid. But if he wanders off, she keeps an eye on him. I have a few acres of land, and now that he’s 2, my boy can actually get lost. I’ve learned that if we lose track of him, we don’t call for him, we call the dog. She comes to us when called, knows where he is, and will lead us there.
Right? Why the fuck is this getting upvoted? Don’t let a toddler wander off alone, certainly not on 2 acres of land where you can easily lose them. Jesus Christ…
If this happened once or maybe twice I could understand. Kids can get away from you really fast with a simple lapse of attention. Besides that, if it keeps happening then it’s kind of just irresponsible parenting.

How else are we supposed to get those “feel good” stories about a kid lost in the woods with their loyal dog?
Ok helicopter parent.
