She is also getting lots of support. Lawrence gave her dog to her parents. What should a parent do if your family dog suddenly attacks a child? Inside Edition spoke to veterinarian Dr. Timnah Lee.

At least she didn't kill the dog like others have done
This is stupid the dog bit her son so she re homed it, better rehoming than putting down because sadly a lot of people put dogs down after even the tiniest of bites.
I was bitten when I was around 6 months old, Dad took the brave step of having the dog put down, (let's be clear I'm now an adult and a dog lover), I have reflected over the years was that the correct decision, hell yes it was, my father protected me, that was his job, that's her job to, a dog potentially ripping flesh from a child, or killing the child, Swift action has to be taken. Oh BTW, my father has been dead for many years.
Okay but the dog lived and rehomed tho so what the heck did she do wrong? Many dogs ended in a kill shelter after just one bite, some got a bullet lodged in their skull after a bite.
She should be applauded not under fire.
These people don’t have kids that’s why they don’t understand. They act like their FUR BABIES 😂what a joke to compare, are more important than the safety of their children.
The same people claim they love illegal aliens but won't house them
She made the right decision. No one knows what the doggie would do next time. At least she didn't put the doggie on the street but re-homed the doggie with her own parents.
There are parents who no longer have their babies because the family dog mauled them and it turned fatal.🫂😰
Calling pets "fur babies" is a sign of mental illness and what did these women want her to do ? Give away the kid and keep the dog ?
All thats going on in the world…and yall are mad she rehomed the dog? Its her dog. She can send the dog back to where she got it on the first fay if she wanted. Like please yall.
Kristi Noem kills dog
People: 😃😃😃
Jennifer Lawrence Gives dog to parents
People: WTFFFFFFFF HOW CRUEL!!!!
I never saw her pair
I would have rehomed it to,
This is why cats are better than dogs
No dog is going to bite my kid. Not happening. Get real.
Those type of dogs are only good with one owner. Shes an adult and mother…her decision.
Oh lord
Why is this news?
She definitely had to put her child first. She didn't abandon the dog. Her child and her could have trauma from seeing this and for the child pain .
I dunno… she’s one of my faves …. However I’m not giving up my dog just cause I have a baby… not to mention her kid is 3 … it’s called responsibility that you sign up for. Isn’t that a common sense risk when you have a dog and baby … happy she just gave it to her mom though that’s what Mae same feel better
Jenny baby u need someone that actually loves u then u can get what it’s about
Chihuahua here is the key.
If she was talking about a pit bull I could understand, but we are talking about a chihuahua, for how much I used to love Jennifer, this time I really think she's one of those that when gets bored or has a bigger thing to follow, she move forward to the next thing.
Why did the dog bite the kid?
There is nothing wrong with protecting her child and making sure the dog has a second chance.

A mother protecting her child, let's shame her for that. Smh
Simple search & found list of others who abandoned/rehomed their pets
* Bet a LOT of them came from breeders instead of shelters/rescues
karTRASHians: 9 animals as of 2016
Bieber: monkeys aren't pets!!
Pink: rehomed dog to dad

JLAW under fire for doing what any responsible parent would do… oh, the humanity
People are crazy! She’s putting her son first!
Children are non negotiable and people equating dogs to children are clearly perverse .

Rock bottom
It’s really no ones business. Her child her dog her choice.
A mother made a common sense decision that anyone anywhere in the world would make but only in America is it controversial and newsworthy 🙄
Wow breaking news
So she was supposed to keep the dog that bit her kid?
breaking news
Why automatically blame the dog? Maybe the child did something to the dog. I remember a case where a dog was euthanized for biting a child, but it was discovered the child had stuck a pencil in the dogs ear.
She's protecting the one's the loved the most, Her dog and her Son. I mean that's Katniss Everdeen
People to need to understand that some dogs and other animals just don’t do well with small children that it does not have to do with training necessarily. She gave the dog a safe and calm environment, where the daughter doesn’t have to worry about small kids and I can be more relaxed.
Shes a good mother
Cmon
Who is she under fire from? Half a dozen kooks on X? This is a non-story.
I bet most the people in those comments don’t even have kids
I’m sorry, but if it comes between the dog and your child, the child always wins. It’s not like she killed the dog over the incident. She rehomed it. That’s what you’re supposed to do. And I don’t even like Jennifer Lawrence, but yeah, she did the right thing.
No one should have an opinion on how she keeps her child safe. Even if the child did something, it proves that she is also protecting the dog from the child. Mind the business that pays you. 1:04
You can never please people lol
I adooore my lil' Kobe. He's partly responsible for my bloody sanity. However…
You say Princess Fido brought harm to J's offspring? Please. (-We'll stop here.❤)
Not the best delivery (but that’s her just talking out loud), but best decision.
She rehomed the dog, thats all, why is this bad? Its better than puppykiller Kristi noem
She did the right thing. A parents' responsibility is to keep their children safe, and a dog that bites your child is not something you want. And I don't understand why people are upset. She gave the dog to her parents, so it's not like she abandoned it by sending it to a shelter or tossing it in the trash or leaving it on the side of the road or the many other horrible things I've read about people doing. She gave it a loving home with her parents. ❤
