This whole story sounds fishy. How did the dog get the baby, take it outside, and hurt the baby, all without the baby crying or the parents noticing? Sounds to me like poor parenting. I have a husky and she loves children. Dakota probably thought the baby was a toy. They need to give the dog away as opposed to killing her. I blame the parent entirely.

I'm sorry but what were those parents thinking???

They have to make sure the dogs will be okay with the baby..

In my case, my parents gave a diaper to the dogs.. And ate it all..

If they don't do that, then you might have a problem..

The German Shepherd we had at our home, was there to protect me, when visitors came.. The dog would keep standing between the crib, and the people...

Making sure nothing would happen to me..

that vet said DONT trust them?! WTF?! i thought they were mans best friend!!!

[SinginSus1969]

Right! They need to give the dog to someone else rather than kill the poor thing! I dont agree with what he did but still dont think he should be killed!

for every alleged dog incident of this type- there are probably dozens of humans whose lives were saved by a dog. I say give the dog the benefit of the doubt, and adopt her out to someone who can provide a better home. Also- who would leave a 3 day old infant alone with any dog? That is NOT enough time to say you trust the dog with the kid based on it's past interaction. Owner at fault, in my opinion, as usual.

dog looks like a wolf hybrid, to me.

@jaymers23 Listen to the type of injuries the baby received: crushed skull, 2 collapsed lungs, broken ribs. With those injuries, I doubt the baby even had the chance to scream and he certainly wouldn't have been able to with collapsed lungs. He may have even been unconscious (let's hope) after the first injury because those are some pretty severe injuries for anyone to deal with but, this was a brand-new baby, only 3 days old. Its amazing he survived long enough to get medical care. Poor baby.

Omg that poor baby!!! (He was) 3 days old and already on death's door. Who knows how it happened but, I guarantee you those parents were hurting bad when they discovered their baby in that condition. I feel for them. I hope the baby survived but, those were some pretty severe injuries and to a newborn no less... Its just so sad.

haha to the baby

Maybe That's Why You Don't Leave Newborn Babies Unattended, Even Within Your Own Home. Are The Parents Stupid Or Some Shit??

@jaymers23 The baby was in the cot how did the dog get it? I think its jealousy. Not enoug attension for the dog.

This is what I can't stand about other human beings. This was a total lack of parental involvement. Who has a baby, but not a baby monitor?

What? You just put the baby in the crib and say "fuck it"?

This is just another case of a dog being a dog and the community saying "Yes, she was a good dog but we're going to murder it anyway so we can sleep better at night".
