Really I thought it was the Dog that attacked the baby and sadly killed the baby. Last edited by arista; 19-02-2014 at 10:17 AM. |

Am I the only one that's thinking....
Well, Bad owners not Bad Dog? I'm not going to be offensive, but they probably abused this dog and made it angry. Alaskan Malamuts are supposed to be caring and protective dogs, not baby eaters. It's a weird case and now they're wondering if it was even the dog that did it... Very tragic story. Last edited by T*; 19-02-2014 at 10:29 AM. |

I think the point that is lost on most people who are animal lovers is that irrespective of how nice the dog is or how loving or docile or protective.......at the end of the day it is still an animal that is unpredictable and subject to unexpected behaviour.
As other posters have said no one knows what "mood" the animal could be in or if another person or animal has wound it up. Or the child who gets attacked may have spent days,weeks possibly months winding the animal up by shouting or squeezing it too hard or a hundred other things. Fact is no one knows and as a result the animal in question could react unpredictably and sadly this sometimes results in violence against young children/babies. It's not really the dogs fault it's an animal ............ So NEVER EVER leave animals unattended with small children/babies ever not even for a minute as you have no control over the animals actions... I would go even as far as saying the Govt should advise ALL parents with small children/babies to seriously consider NOT having pets until they are at least big enough to fend off/withstand any animal attack.....!!!!

That's what I've been reading Arista,it probably was the dog,but they still have it and are waiting on a post mortem,that just seems strange.

You know my methods

There are millions of families in the UK with dogs and babies and nothing happens. This story just illustrates how little grasp of numbers people have.

I think it's more to do with the grasp of a dogs jaw around a baby's head than the grasp of numbers.........

Stupid parents leaving a days old baby alone. Dogs can be quite protective of babies and children but you have to be a moron to leave both alone right at the very beginning.

I fear that people are simply too attached to these animals, to be honest. Like I said - we humanize them, fool ourselves into thinking that they "love" us, and so we can't bear to say "its just a dog. If you're having a baby, don't have a dog for a few years." |
