A 1-month-old baby girl was tragically killed when the family’s puppy chewed the infant’s face as her mom and stepdad slept in Queens early Tuesday, cops and sources said.
The baby’s mother called 911 just after 6:30 a.m. to report that her newborn was lying between the couple inside the apartment within NYCHA’s Queensbridge Houses when the pair awoke to find the 6-week-old German shepherd, pit bull mix gnawing on the baby’s face, law enforcement sources said.
EMS workers responded to the unit on 12th Street near 41st Avenue, but the baby could not be saved, cops said...
“She told me she woke up and the dog was eating the baby!” the mom’s female friend told The Post hours later. “Chewing on the baby’s face!”
“I said, ‘Y’all laying right next to the baby?! How the f–k do not hear the baby cry?!” the woman said. “She didn’t have that, she just kept saying, ‘we was laying right there! We was laying right there’!”

What ignorance about dog breeds
My brothers also Alsatian bit a child two days ago enough for stitches
Dog of course had never done anything like that
It was in a yard with a dog in heat next fence
He knew what he had to do and he did
Not that he enjoyed it
Six year old dog
I’ve owned serious dogs since early 1960s
7th Rott now
You cannot have these dogs or pups unattended around toddlers
Or babies in this case
I see influencer girls putting their faces up in a Guard Dogs grill and I’m like that’s dominance and aggression to the dog
Taking a chance
Dumb
So tragic this one
Check out your local on-line animal shelter, dogs & cats.
Nine out of ten dogs are “pit bull mixes”.
Why do you think that is?
>Invidious discrimination? You
When folks are denied guns, the pitbull becomes the choice
Or, the parents had already overlain and smothered the baby?
I find it hard to believe that a puppy only 6 week old could kill a baby. A puppy that young is tiny, 3 or 4 pounds even a large breed. It has needle-like milk teeth and should still be with its mother.
Excellent point.
Yeah. Answered my question too.
Sometimes micromanaging of events fail. New baby... No new puppies. Can’t help stupidity
This is ridiculous. Boo- boo, go get a rope.
As of 2013, Queensbridge had a total population of 6,105. The racial breakdown was 61.4% black, 2.3% white, 1.9% Asian, 1.0% American Indian and 2.4% multiracial. Hispanics and Latinos of any race were 30.1%.
In the first place, it’s stupid to sleep with a child small enough to smother. Toss in a dog which might have fleas, tapeworms, hookworms, mange, etc., the stupidity level increases exponentially as to what could go terribly, terribly wrong.
It’s curious that the puppy chose the baby to chew on, and that it’s presumed cries of pain went unheard or unvocalized. Something seems off.
I wouldn’t have the energy to be pregnant and add a puppy, particularly a large breed one, to the home.
“It’s not the dog, it’s the owners”
You don’t think there’s a gun or two in that house?
They have a pitbull Shepard mix puppy not in a kennel with a newborn in the house? And then you have the newborn SLEEPING BETWEEN the two adults? You NEVER do that! That’s how babies get smothered and crushed. Just because you’re too lazy to get up when the baby cries you put her in your bed. Disgusting.
Impossible for them to sleep through that with the baby right between them.
Sub-humans in their wild habitat.
It’s a tiny puppy, that AFAIK in the whole nation is technically illegal to have without its dam. The puppy was only 6 weeks old.
I had a friend come visit with her 12 wk old baby, who slept in the bed with her.
I was the one that kept getting up to take care of him cause she slept right thru.
I was on another floor and heard that baby!
Really? Why use FR for your racist crap?
