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.

      Most people don’t consider this to be a danger because it’s such a rare situation that it’s newsworthy when it happens.

        It’s not actually that rare. I mean, the death part is more unusual, but Dogs bite kids for no good reason all the damn time. Dogs should not be allowed around children unsupervised, period. It doesn’t matter how many times “it’s been fine” - all it takes is once.

          Nothing with free will that isn’t another human is a potential danger to a baby. There are obviously tons of pets that don’t and having watched a lot of animals be interact with children under extremely strict supervision and controlled conditions I do think most pets do understand what the baby is and wouldn’t hurt it you can never know how they will react. Huskies are really smart and temperamental from what i understand, it’s insane to leave one near a baby

            Even humans as well. No unsupervised access to any babies. every move must be monitored. /S

              We joke, but then I think about someone I know and their piece of shit oldest son. He was clearly psychopathic around the age of four wanting to hurt babies and dogs. It never went away, and he frequently beats his younger siblings and strangles his youngest sibling. Parents don’t do shit about it, can’t hurt his feelings.

                Sounds like a killer in the making, just watched a doc about a kid like that that went on to shoot up a mall.

          I wonder if it was an unfixed male. It’s not uncommon in the animal world for other males to kill young they didn’t sire.
