6 wk old puppy mauls 2 mo baby? This has to be a misprint

[vomdominus]

Not only does it smack of a coverup, but I'm surprised it didn't mention the words VICIOUS and DANGEROUS coupled with PIT BULL or GERMAN SHEPHERD at least three times.

This just does not make any sense. How does a baby not cry when it's being killed by a dog?

there HAS to be something else going on here... they still only have puppy teeth at that point... which I would think are still to small to do any real damage...

Puppy teeth are SHARP and I don't doubt they could kill a 2 month old, but I do doubt that a 6 week old puppy would do that, and if it did it wasn't "attacking" or "mauling". There is definitely something else going on here

I haven't had a puppy in FOREVER, but what I remember of them, when they would chew on you it never hurt. And they were always flopping all over themselves.

But I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the police turn up. I'm sure they'll determine the cause of death. As well as measure the bite marks and match them to either the puppy or the pug...

Very tragic...regardless of what really happened.

However, here it is yet again:

Police say the infant was left unattended in a swing with two dogs in the room, the lab puppy and a pug.



Here's a really annoying article about the incident:

This comment kind of made me hackle up a little:

"Even a very familiar family dog can turn on you, puppies specifically, they're unpredictable, they're young, they got a lot of hormones going on, you've never know what they're gonna do," says Chris Stevens of EMSA.

WTH?

Yes, everyone, beware of puppies....

I will be curious to hear about those results, seeing as how they've already pegged the lab pup as the killer and euthanized him.

yeah, you better watch out for all the hormones in a 6 WEEK OLD PUPPY. What the heck?

That blows my mind!! No way could or would a puppy do that! Deffinately something going on. I sense a cover up of some sort.

How tragic the pup had to die before they can say for sure it was him.
