Chip Gaines found many critics and here’s a sample of some of the furious comments from dog lovers:

It’s not ok to sit on a dog. It’s great that he has good buds to hang out with but you have to respect the pup.

Typically I’m not the one to judge, provide criticism or parent shame from behind the keyboard, but this pictures just not right. At no point should a child be sitting on their dog. Sorry😢.

Kids should NOT sit on a dog!! Learn your son respect for animals and to act around a dog to be best friends 🙏.

Plenty more critics had their say but some people defended Crew’s dad.

In Defense

Chip Gaines has some supporters who saw nothing wrong in Crew perched on the pup. One of them opined, “It’s a Great Pyrenees, they are amazing with kids! And the dog is obviously eating something, I mean look at the drool. Glad some of these folks aren’t detectives 😆 🤦🏼‍♀️.”

Another one wrote, I own a Pyrenees and they are massive. The dog looks fine and was probably chewing on something. Crew is pretty little and the dog does not look in discomfort. All you people crying about a nice pic. 😂.”

What are your thoughts about the pooch lying down with a child sitting on it? Are you furious? Or, do you agree that the dog probably didn’t even worry about it? Sound off in the comments below and come back to TV Shows For all your Fixer Upper news.

  1. we have big dogs and little kids, and I can tell you these ragers are ridiculous- if a big dog doesn’t like you sitting on him, he will guaranteed get off and knock the kid off. Big dogs are tough and love little kids immensely.
