Another baby killed by the family pet

Just read the awful story of a new born little girl attacked by the family pet, an Alaskan Malamut, brought home from the pub a few months ago by the baby's father.

Apparently it had bitten the baby's head. She was only 6 days old.

So sad. So very, very sad!

It is - maybe it was jealous of the baby, we will never know.
I just don't understand why you would get a pet dog, having just had a baby arrive ......

Re: Another baby killed by the family pet

To a dog a baby must appear to be a small creature that smells of milk/food and squeals like prey.
If only people would realise this and never leave a baby alone with a dog.

It must be terrible for the parents

Said the same to Hubs - wish people would 'think' on those lines .....

Re: Another baby killed by the family pet

It is indeed dreadful, but despite warning after warning people still leave young children alone with dogs. We buy squeaky toys for dogs and who knows, a new baby crying will probably sound like a new toy to a dog. A well balanced happy family dog would probably not be able to distinguish between a squeaky toy and a tiny baby. So very sad.

It also seems the dog is a fairly recent addition to the family so they probably didn't even know what it's temperament was like.
