Well said, not just on this issue, but on all matters in life.

If there's a conflict between the child and the pet, a choice has to be made. It's a sad commentary that some think the dog or cat comes before the wellbeing of the child.

The "But I LOVE that dog/cat/hampster/whatever!" position is about as selfish as it gets. But if someone has as their principle and commitment their wants comes before any other interest, then it's understandable.

And I don't care if we're talking about just a slight runny nose or cough, doing that to a kid that can't move away is just thoughtless at best and heartless at worse. Same goes for smoking around a child that is allergic, or making them eat foods that cause reactions.
