[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't forget tye newborn that was killed last week by their "gentle family pet"

Parents were holding the newborn on the bed after coming home from the hospital, mom sneezed, and their pit mix attacked and killed the baby in minutes.  Both mom and dad were right there but there was nothing they could do to stop that beast from murdering their baby right in front of their eyes.

Other dogs might bite but the ones that kill and maim are almost exclusively pits or pit mixes, with many of them being "gentle family pets."[/quote]

My god I don't think I've ever heard something so horrible. How do you move on from that. Seeing your days old newborn mauled by a monster you knowingly and willingly brought into your home.

Well, there just about had to be signs that the dog was aggressive before it suddenly attacked that baby.  I'd about guarantee it.

It likely had - at the very least - killed other animals (squirrels, cats, whatever got in the yard).  That aggressive prey drive didn't just come out of nowhere.  I really don't buy this business that gentle, good dogs suddenly snap one day....there were signs that were ignored.

And honestly I think you would be nuts to have ANY dog that close to a newborn baby because the newborn is NEW to the dog. And the newborn is so tiny and helpless.  Those parents are devastated I'm sure but they took a foolish risk by having that dog near their baby to begin with.[/quote]

That's what my neighbors said about their German Shepherd who viciously attacked my small dog while I was walking him. My dog barely survived and spent a week in the hospital. They were so convinced that the attack was an anomaly that they got a 2nd German Shepherd. Then they had a baby. I hope they were right about the attack being an anomaly but I doubt it. All my dog was doing was walking down the sidewalk. No provocation at all.  [/quote]

That's terrible.  But if you think that all German Shepherds would attack small animals you are wrong.  I've had small dogs run up and jump on my dog and my dog behaved herself.  She's a goof and a sweetheart.  I'm sure she would stand her ground if she felt threatened though which is not a bad thing....[/quote]
