yet another terrible tragedy, I do so hope the baby girl recovers! I can't imagine how terrifying this was for both mother and baby. I would love to understand the motivation in the dogs. I feel like if we could understand what causes them to snatch and bite babies, we could prevent it from happening. As some of you know, I own several large breed powerful dogs, and I am mother to preschoolers. For me, I can honestly say I dont forget what my dogs could be capable of. My little children are never never in the same place as the dogs at the same time. MY bigger children help care for the dogs,never without adult supervision though. It seems to be something about small babies and toddlers that the dogs in these stories are attracted to. We employ every safety method imaginable including door locks, gates with unreachable latches, and a seperate fenced play yard. More than anything, I think good obedience training is key. I expect my dogs to respond the first time I ask for a command, but it is NOT a fail proof system. I would love to hear what others think motivates these attacks. Please lets not get into a bad breed mean breed vicious killer breed debate, I think we have been there and done that. What is it about babies and toddlers that is so attractive to these animals, and why do they attack? Thanks y'all.
