A reader opposing the claim that "Dogs like people of all ages, especially children" might respond by emphasizing concerns about how dogs interact with children. For instance:
"While it's true that dogs can be friendly and affectionate, not all dogs naturally like or feel comfortable around children. Some dogs may become anxious or stressed in the presence of young kids, who can be loud and unpredictable. Additionally, children often lack the understanding of how to interact properly with dogs, which can lead to accidental injuries for both the child and the dog. Therefore, it's essential to recognize that not all dogs will bond well with children, and that compatibility can vary significantly from one dog to another."
