This shows no matter the size or breed of Dog, they should not be left anywhere with Babies unattended.
My Dog has never gone for anyone,or bitten anyone but I am aware he could and would if he was frightened or felt he or I was threatened.
It is why I always when out with him, keep him on a harness and lead and never let Children stroke him,I always ask the adults to make sure their Children don't come up to him.

He actually adores Children but as kazanne and others have indicated above,prevention is better than cure, no Dog should be alone with a Baby,no matter how long it may have been a pet.
This is a very sad story with a heavy price being paid for carelessness and possibly negligence too.

I have two dogs myself Joey and they are as soppy as they come,but I would never ever leave them with the kids unattended aside from the obvious dangers i wouldn't want the kids to be pulling them about or the dogs licking the kids faces etc,the kids play happily with the dogs when we are there,i just wish people would use their common sense and just to add,I agree
cats can do some damage aswell.
