And when t here's a new arrival in a family, the dog has to "learn" that fact.
It was a very tragic mistake for this family to take such a risk, regardless of the breed...
Babies sound like puppies squealing to maternally inclined dogs and possibly competing pups to non-maternal [or male] dogs.
Their hearing and sense of smell is hundreds of times more sensitive than ours.
Babies are sensory overload to all dogs, but most people have the sense to not shove the family dog and baby together, right off the bat.
At 3 days old, the kid had *just* come home from the hospital to a dog who had lived there for years.
It was madness.
Poor kid.
In a perfect world, they’d be charged for the baby’s death.
