Discussion This is a disaster waiting to happen.

The dog isn’t allowed to be around a toddler because he growls at her. I don’t get it. A family dog is supposed to get along with the whole family. Why are the parents concerned about why the dog “doesn’t like her”? What about the child’s safety?

When I was in high school I had a friend who's family member had a pit bull. He was staying with this family member, so when I would go over to hang out I'd see the dog roaming around while his baby cousin crawled around the house. I expressed concern about this and the cousin who owned the dog would just say "He knows better. He knows I'll fuck him up if he tries something." This did not ease my concern at-fucking-all. I called CPS anonymously because that felt like right thing to do. They didn't do shit about it.

One day the dog snapped, bit down on the toddlers head and would NOT. LET. GO. Eventually it did but there was a lot of damage done by the time they were able to pry it off of the baby.

The baby survived but had a looooooong stay in the hospital. I remember visiting her and she had all sorts of tubing coming out of her. Really sad shit.

They tied the dog up to a tree in the backyard, beat it to death and used the body for target practice. I stopped going over there after that.

I've never been able to tell this story before now. Insane shit.

I hope you reported the animal abuse too. Those people sound unworthy to care for a pet rock, nvm an animal or a baby.

Me and two other friends reported it. Not sure what was done about it, if anything. But the child was removed from the home for neglect.

Everyone involved in this scenario is an animal. And clearly the dog learnt (nothing) from the beasts that raised him.

They blamed the dog for their own failure. They should have beaten themselves up for what happened bc it was their fault.

watching you dog lovers defending this baby eating breed is always hilarious

I’m not a dog lover over babies. I think they should have just put the dog down humanely with the vet or shot it to death once with a gun instead of beating it to the death since it was the owners fault. But of course they avoid accountability and blame the dog for doing what it’s bred to do (and buying the dog fully knowing that) instead of themselves even though they had seen the warning signs and been warned.
