Someone on the Maternal & Child forum says she's this mother if anyone would like to see the thread.

As I said, I won't even leave my cat alone with him.
Tab, I think we mainly hear about pit bulls though, because unfortunately that is a common dog to attack. They were bred as fighting dogs, and many many still treat them that way. They are one of the breeds you are supposed to be extra careful around children with. Doesn't mean they can't make good pets, just that they need extra monitoring and caution. Here you can't even take them out in public without a muzzle. Different breeds have different issues by nature, and a pit bull is a fighting breed. Believe it or not, another breed not recommended around children is the Dalmation. Not quite as many issues as a pit bull, but have been known to be problematic.
True, but it is the parents responsibility to monitor the situation. I would never leave, even a poodle in a room a lone with a baby. You just cannot ever take it for granted. Certain dogs have certain dispositions and altho I think most animals make good pets, it still falls on the parents to monitor things.
so very sad:( funny how we only hear about the deaths by pitts. I believe any animal is capible of something like this. Even a little poodle can snap, doesnt matter the breed.
What a sad and tragic story. That poor baby.
Tragic.... I'd like to know how a dog gets at a 4 day old anyhow. I am not father of the year material or anything, but my kids were either in their crib in the room in which their mother or I was in, and our dog couldnt get at the baby.
Maybe it was mentioned and I missed it, but I wonder what happends to the pitbull now? If it was me.... well....
