A 6-week-old baby died in Tennessee on Thursday after the family dog attacked the newborn while he was asleep in his crib.

While Ezra was taking a nap in his crib, the family’s Husky that they owned for eight years attacked out of nowhere.

“And to just bring awareness that it could be any dog at any time. Completely unprovoked, no matter what the history is,” Chloe said.

    Same thing could have happened to us, except we kept our 90 lbs GSD the fuck away from our newborn. “It could be any dog at any time” uh… no shit? Genetically it’s a fucking wolf. Use your fucking brains people.

    If this sounds insensitive, well it is. A license should be required to possess both dogs and children.

      Yeah I love dogs and I really miss having some, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t glad we didn’t have one when the kid was born. Not only for the safety aspect and not having to deal with making sure the dog and baby were safe, but also one less layer of having to care for another being.

      I have both and agree with your statement. I had a paragraph typed up but it’s a lot to edit and it’s late. Call me lazy. The tl;dr version is supporting evidence for the dogs portion, and outlines that people need to have access to abortion, and/or screening on if they’re responsible enough to have kids. And now it’s a paragraph again. Ugh.
