Exposing a child to the allergy causing pet may help his/her immune system learn to tolerate it. Some allergies are reversible.
And for AVoiceOfReason: "Pets are NOT part of the family--they are animals to be enjoyed as part of God's creation. Elevating them to family member status actually demeans the worth of the human components of the family." I just don't agree with you. Human life is simply <i>not</i> more important than animal life. In a life and death situation, me or them - me, but to assume at ALL times? ...meh, not so much. I am my dog's mother - my husband isn't demeaned by my love for my dogs.
