Ok, I haven't read all responses to this thread yet (haven't gotten past the first page actually) but come on! This puppy was not a monster. Examine the facts.

- Puppy taken away from mother 5 and a half weeks too early
- Child's hands smelled like dinner from the night before
- Puppy started chewing because the hand smelling like food was right there and puppy probably had no idea what it was doing

IRRESPONSIBLE mother lets puppy sleep with young child. A number of things could have happened.

Not to mention, why when he was 5 yrs old was he walking home alone???????????????????? Thats when he got hit by a truck!!!! GEEZ.

Bottom line: 100% blame on mother. The puppy should still be alive.
