I can say AWFUL, how horrifying.

I can say that I'm very sorry for their loss, but it brings up once
again how incredibly important it is for people not to leave dogs
and children (especially that young of a baby, especially with
a dog that had at least some history of aggression) together
unsupervised.

It's heartbreaking and yeah, I'll get lambasted for saying this, but any breed of dog can mistake the cries of a newborn for a stricken animal or squeeky toy. Newborns and dogs of any breed do not mix...under no circumstances should a dog of any breed be so close to a newborn... where's the responsibility here?

Especially Terrier and especially a Jack Russell originally bred for hunting small animals and rodents.

Why the hell would they leave a week old infant alone with a dog of any breed?

I wouldn't assume they left it alone it could happen so quickly they might not have had time to react. A dog like a jack russell will kill a rabbit or a squirrel in fractions of a second of they get hold one one a new born baby is not very much bigger and even more defenceless.

It's been reported that It was one bite... My Jack Russell can take a rabbit by the throat, one shake and It's dead within 2 seconds.... same size as a newborn.... You're right,,
I like to think I know my dogs like the back of my hand but I can say with hand on heart, because they are Terriers especially, I never even have then In the house when I have a baby as a guest. I always always lock them In the back yard until my guests are gone. I don't like doing It but I like to think I'm a responsible dog owner. Jacks are bred for hunting... why do people think that because they live In a house, they will change their genetic make up overnight ?

There you go. :mad:That sums it up for me, too.
My daughter had a fake baby this past weekend for a school project. Both the cats and the dog were aggitated every time it started making noises. We wouldn't leave a fake baby in the room with them for fear they would damage it.:-5

I expressly forbid the use of any of my posts anywhere outside of FG (with the exception of the incredibly witty 'get a room already' )posted recently.

What a shame.
My blessings go out to the parents.
They may not have been thinking just bringing a newborn home but that will make it even more difficult for them.
dogs follow instincts and apparently humans don't.

This Is very Interesting.... among all the comments I found this:
You lot are a disgrace! They're in pain and all you can do is slag them off! They're good people it was months ago! I'm close friends with them, it's my tweet in the article! Get your facts straight! The dog was not left alone with Harry, he bite him once, it was so fast no one could do anything! They weren't too young to have a child, it was an accident, I'm sure all you "perfect" people have never had an accident! They was delighted with Harry and are now devastated, the daily mail are a disgrace, there reports is totally inaccurate, why say how much the house worth and exactly where they live? You're all low lives who are passing judgement when you know nothing! You're all so good and so perfect yet you spend you're time criticising people when they've just had their heartbroken!
