>If the dog is not amused, or should I say, gets tired of it, they get just get
 up and leave... and children should be taught to have respect for animals and
not to mistreat them.  I dont think the boy was hurting the dog at all and the
dog for sure was not hurting the little boy.  I have seen more dirt on my dogs
from them digging holes in the back yard than was on the one in question here.
 I liked the commercial.

>together.  My kids have indeed put sand on the dogs on the beach. 
>However as a parent I was there to watch and my kids were corrected for
>putting anything on the dogs head and eyes in particular ( ears too ). 
>It is not amusing to me to see the child shovel dirt into the dogs face.
>I also wince as the dog kicks dirt back in the child's face, for the same
>obvious reasons.  While we may have raised our dogs as complete family
