Texas girl, 4, mauled to death by family dog, report says

[shockedcanadian]

Poor child. This happens in Texas more often than it should. This is a horrible way for a baby to die.

Never leave a dog alone with a child. I don't care the breed or how much they love the family. Set the boundaries straight early and often. As much as I feel horrible for the parents, this is a failure on their part. It happens, but it shouldn't. Not to a child that young.

Doesn't say, was it a pit bull?

Never be alone with a dog even as an adult.

Appears there was no definitive knowledge of what breed it was. A mutt I suppose.

I'm alone with my dog often. He's a decent sized, powerful dog. He isn't more powerful than me and he knows it.

No need to even be aggressive with a dog, just set the boundaries early. As it were, a dog can just snap, no question, I'm not suggesting it can't. I don't pretend there isn't a risk, but, I've done my best thus far and I'm not worried.

I would never leave him alone with a child though no matter the circumstances.

 

[DrLove]

I can't find the breed anywhere, but bet you dollars to donuts it was a pitter, rotter, dobie or another questionable breed.
It happens so much in Texas because so many there need a badass dog.

Dogs need to get out and socialize.

 

[harmonica]

..sounds like the parents' fault..I never let kids near my dogs--or anyone..I don''t want it used to people
...adults taller---kids smaller = game for the dogs....my dog act differently when she sees kids vs adults

 

[initforme]

Dogs are superior to humans in most respects

Perhaps. You know another group that likes to have bad ass dogs? Blacks.


Is it bad when blacks do it too?

A small child can't be trusted to handle a dog.


I leave my 13 year old child alone with our yellow lab, all the time.

It happens everywhere dumbass ....

Try Googling "child mauled by dog" ....

This isn't something that is specific to Texas.

 

[harmonica]

yes- parents fault

 

[harmonica]

SassyIrishLass we have a pit-shep mix ..a very smart and good dog ....she doesn't back down .....it's not the dog, but the owner

 

[Correll]

yes- parents fault

Agreed. A four year old should not be left alone. Period.

 

[harmonica]

DrLove owners' fault--not the dogs

 

[harmonica]

Agreed. A four year old should not be left alone. Period.

we never let anyone pet our dog:
1. I don't want her used to people
2. especially children--dogs naturally think of children in a different matter--prey
3. we don't know how she will react
3.yes, never let a child alone, with a dog ...the kids grab and pull-etc the dogs

 

[Missourian]

My dog understands the consequences. Whenever he acts up, I show him a picture of Obama holding a knife and fork...

DrLove there are also a lot of 'southerners''''/illegals/etc
