3 week old baby killed by dog in Sunderland...
 

A three-week-old baby died after being attacked by a dog in Sunderland in the early hours of the morning.

The child was bitten by the dog at around 4.15 am this morning, said Northumberland Police in a statement, and was taken to hospital, but died of his injuries.

The dog, described as a small terrier, was taken away from the home in Falkland Road by police, and is expected to be put down.

A 30-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the death, and police said he is helping them with their inquiries.

Superintendent Gillian Mitchell said: "This is obviously a very tragic incident and our thoughts are with the family of the baby at such a difficult time.

"We are carrying out enquiries to establish the circumstances of the incident and will have extra officers in the area to allow this to be done.

"Officers will also be on patrol to offer reassurance to the local community who may be concerned."

Tragic

Any Size Dog can turn on a baby
why do people not understand that Fact

Seems to be getting more and more frequent these attacks, always see them here.

What was a dog even doing around a baby in the small hours of the morning. Some parents need putting down rather than the animals they need to keep control of, especially round young children.

Yes never leave any dog near a young baby
The Owner of the Dog
has no idea that the dog can view a baby as a threat

The dog will be put down
it has been removed

this will be a story about the owners rather than the dog

again

More silly sentimental people who don't understand dog pack psychology and think that their dogs have human emotions, love them and would never harm them. Your dog does not love you. It will not love your baby. If you are having a child, get rid of the damned dogs first.

Sometimes I really am ashamed to live here. Disgraceful:/
