Never let dogs close to small kids... (news article)
 

Just horrible news.

Sdaly that has happened twice here this week.

On one occasion the parents left the kid with a rotty and went next door for drinks. :(

no shit,,

I really dont get how such cases keep happening. It is crazy parents fail to understand how exposed can their child be to danger by letting an animal around them with no supervisor.

I thought that was common fucking sense. Funny how uncommon common sense really is.

Depends on the dog.. our cocker spaniel was super protective over my nieces

The parent's were idiots. A 2 1/2 year old Rot that they owned for 1/2 year.

TRANSLATED: A young adult dog that for some reason was on it's second set of owners ... owners that were not part of the dogs early development and probably don't understand the pac status mentality of dogs.

Note ... substitute gun for dog and this would be a five page anti-gun rant. Really, who leaves an untrained second hand attack dog laying around where children are playing.

Pretty much what you said. Anyone who leaves a child that age with an untried dog is an idiot.

thats sad but could of been prevented.

whats an untried dog? I think this rule should apply to any dog since you can never tell.

Yeah sucks. All dogs can do this when they is no 'superior' in the area.

Absolutely.

you know, i used to think collie dog is like the most innocent dog ever and nothing could ever go wrong. I remember not that long time ago a collie killed the female adult owner of it. I got shocked by this event cause, happened in my city.

are you high on pcp?
how can you compare?

it's exactly that behaviour what causes attacks coz you teach the dog
that kids are bad by not allowing interaction with them......

You should say NEVER let kids close to dogs you and/or he doesn't know

OMG! that's horrible! :Oh crap

Ya, but I agree with it depending on the dog. Although the fact that they were the second owner of an adult dog is suspect, probably shouldn't of trusted it that much.
