This makes Me So Angry (Update post 53) by Finn's Mom

This is such BS, wtf?

-the baby was unattended OUTSIDE
-the parents and grandmother were HOME
-the baby was left with TWO dogs outside

This is completely questionable, the puppy shouldn't even be WEANED yet, he's not even 8 weeks old. I don't believe a word of it.

The second link reports this.....

"Willingham said the baby's mother and grandmother were home, but nobody was in the room at the time."
This makes me think they were all inside the house at the time, but nobody
was in the same room. This just makes it more unbelieveable that no one
heard a thing.

I think the whole incident was misreported as a "attack" by the puppy.
Total BS. There are some people who will actually believe this is
crap & put the blame for this death on the pup. He doesn't even look more
that 7-8 weeks old itself. It's criminal negligence by the parents.

i see, well I'm at work and the speaker on the computer is set low - so I couldn't really hear a lot of the information

but I'm more agreeing with the ones who are suspicious that the baby was already desceased. I may get blasted for this opinion but I'm saying it anyway, the way those people look, who knows how long that poor baby was in the swing.

But you were right Staci. A lot of people will say babies & dogs don't mix
so get rid of the animals when the woman is pregnant. Totally
wrong info to be passing around.

This poor kid did nothing but be born into a family of dimwits & the puppy
will also pay with his life.

The only ones to blame are the parents!!! Some people shouldn't have pot plants lets alone kids and animals!

Without all the details, it's hard to really say who is to blame. Everyone shares a part in it, of course, but who knows if the parents were taking a nap while the grandmother was supposed to be watching the baby? The parents look young, but just because they have punk looks, doesn't make them bad people. The grandmother is the only one who looks like she's not bothered by the situation. :/

I've seen aggressiveness in puppies as young as six weeks old before, but I don't think I've ever heard of an outright attack by one. The fact that they were dragging the pug out with a catch pole makes me think the pug was more likely to bite than the puppy they were cradling in their arms as they left the house.

My assumption (and that is all it is) is that they had the pug before the baby was born, but not the puppy, considering the age of the puppy and the baby. Jealous dogs can be very unpredictable, especially when left unsupervised with the object of their jealousy.

I wonder the same thing as a couple of others, though. The child may have been dead before the dog bites.
