Today’s Talmud pages, Bava Kama 15 and 16, discusses the prohibition of raising a vicious dog within your home in the same way that one should not have an unstable ladder. Dog owner, and Tablet Studios producer Josh Kross returns to discuss his dog Oscar, who would fall into that category, but because of the makeup of his family, fits right in. Unlike an unstable ladder which is destined to be dangerous, in the correct setting, a crazy dog may serve a purpose within a home. Can a family dog serve as the family peacemaker? Listen and find out.
