i am sickiend by what hapened to the baby children should not be left alone with animals no matter what breed it is to many children are getting injured or killed dogs are not humans they should not be treated as such,we need laws changing and quickly i have 15 grandchildren i look after my sons staff but when my granchildren visit the dog goes out the back it stands to common sence you dont leave babys and toddlers on there own with any animal i dont trust our dog when my children visit unless i am in the same room as her.my heart goes out to this family the owners are responsable for there animals and for the way they behave.any dog can turn no matter what the breed is.when children are around or babys animals should be removed from the whole situation.so children can be safer.

First off, I am an animal (the doggy kind); not a human so please don’t treat me like one. As with any animal, I am unpredictable. Yes, some humans are unpredictable but they have “thought process:” I do not. I can appear to be loving and obedient but that’s only because I know where my food and shelter come from. I can also be protective, jumpy, uncontrollable and mean-spirited. I should not be allowed to sleep in your bed; I should not be allowed to eat from the table (literally); I should not be allowed to sit in your lap while you drive and I definitely should not be left alone with young children. I can be spooked very easily and will attack to protect my space. A report said dogs injure or kill more people than any other animal. The reason is nobody is allowed to own a mountain lion, bear, hyena, etc for a pet. The more of one species allowed the more problems you have. We aren’t all bad, but like I said, we ARE NOT human so please, don’t treat us like one…
