My brother is close friends with the family of this child that died. The child was not left alone with the dog, the dog came in off the frigging street. It went for one child, the mother of the child that died went to protect the other child, and the dog attacked and locked onto her daughter instead...the little girl was clinging to her mothers leg the whole time
You absolutely CANNOT trust an ANIMAL 100%. Although I do people have different opinions pre- and post-children, I cannot believe anyone could say that they can completely trust something that cannot rationally reason. I love my cats to death, they were and are my first babies, but since having DD, huge changes have been made. They are not allowed in our bedroom during the night anymore, and they are never, EVER alone with her.
My neighbour has an Aussie bulldog. She actually picked up the bloody thing and shoved it in DD's face to 'introduce' them! **** that, I was livid. My neighbour is mid twenties, no children. Silly, silly cow. She didn't even understand how furious I was.
Anyway, I'm ending my rant now, and Alish and others, I hope you can take what I have said for what it is and not get offended/caught up in the possibly blunt way I have worded sone things...young baby, little sleep etc etc. But god, after reading about mauling after mauling after mauling...how can anyone rationally say that they trust an animal 100%?
