This is a tiny too-young 6-week puppy.

I have a feeling, the puppy was there and found a plaything and kept gnawing at it, even as it would move a bit and cause extra interest. The baby’s mouth could even have emitted smells such as milkiness that would be interesting to a dog of any type but esp. a puppy.

I sort of doubt this was all about “viciousness”. The puppy is too young to leave its dam and may especially try to keep feeding on a soft rounded milky moving thing it found.

I despise pit-bull terriers, but I sort of doubt that was the real cause here.

Highly negligent parents - gee, I wonder why?

Get over yourself, or better yet, go back to DU.
There is nothing racist about calling stupid, brainless, drug addled idiots sub-human.
I don’t care what race they are.

Grow up.

Someone posting crap in the past such as referring to people as “Ghettopotamus” [sows] has an issue with a race.

And the DU comment is just confirmation that you don’t like getting busted for it.

How does a one month old infant already have a step father?

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.

I overlooked the '6 week old' puppy - I assumed much larger but not yet adult. No, a pup that young couldn't kill a baby. Oh, maybe that dog's mother? Something made toothmarks on baby? So another dog they pushed out of the house for now, or somethign else. *shudder*

I checked for photos before I posted but the pictures that came up didn’t look right; checked just now for the two breeds separately at 6 weeks. It’s just way off unless the puppy was older or even mis-typed as weeks instead of months. Even a pit bull puppy’s mouth is on the small side to bite a baby and the baby not be able to scream in pain. Unless the dog smothered the baby because of food still on the mouth or even spit-up that happened while the parents were sleeping. I hope they do an autopsy to determine the basic cause.

Although a lot of people love their pit bulls and pit mixes, I’m very leery of them, but I don’t want a dog to be accused of something just because of its breed without it’s individual behavior being taken into consideration.

Teething puppies shouldn’t be around newborns while parents are asleep, no matter the breed anyway, and parents shouldn’t sleep with a newborn baby who is so easy to smother.

As a dog owner, I cringe at times when I see the cutest dog/baby videos, because I know they (the dogs) are just animals and can kill a baby or small child in seconds no matter how gentle and lovable the dog is. Never, ever leave your child that cannot defend themselves, alone or indefensible with any kind of dog. Period. There are rare exceptions with supremely trained dogs whose duty it is to guard the family, but that is not your run of the mill German Shepherd or chihuahua.

“REVEREND”-mommy, are they the same type of people you described on 11/29/2023 as smelling like “ceviche”?

You explained that, “’ceviche’ is used as a racist &/or vulgar slang for female genitalia, usually used in gay male social circles. ‘Dirty ceviche’ is worse.”

Now they don’t think the baby died from this. Deserves to be updated.

Anyway, totally confused about the “dog”. They show a photo who looks very young, but maybe it’s a file photo of a pit-Bull terrier puppy (does NOT look anything like a German Shepherd…that’s my specialty). The neighbor kept chastizing the, about leashing the “dog”….but no tiny puppy of 6 weeks could seriously be leashed, and as if it was totally threatening to everyone.

Either way, looks like they believ the pup (of whatever age) did not kill baby - but was chewing it afterward. I suspect “SIDS”, or just plain smothered.

“... a 1 month old baby while the mom and step father...”

The child is only one month old and the man of the house is the “step father.” Poor kid didn’t have a chance even without a hungry dog in the picture.
