fluffystuff Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I notice in the article it said the husband bought the dog home from the pub??? I wonder if they hadn't had it long... Seems like that may be the case as you wouldn't think it would harm the baby otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeonah Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Very sad news indeed. Unlike the case that happened the other day, this dog has not been immediately P.T.S. It would seem that there may be some doubt that the dog is at fault. Gary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robke Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 very sad indeed even made the newspapers in Holland... but only said dog was taken away.. nothing else yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkyries Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 sounds fishy to me bit out the paper 'Another neighbour told the paper that she caught the dog in the street and handed it over to police. She described it as a "big dog and white around the mouth" but added that she "didn't see anything that caught my eye to say anything had gone on". white around the mouth ERM if it attacked an killed surely there'd be blood stains ????

stormchaser09 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 we wondered about that too, but when our Storm got our chickens she just tossed them in the air and there were no obvious injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 There seems to be differing info according to what news site you read. If you believe 'the mail' then apparantly the mother walked in to find the mally laying next to the baby on the floor with it's head bitten. She then ran to a neighbours uncontrollably sobbing (well lets face it, who wouldn't be if you discovered something like that, sends a chill down my spine thinking about it) and saying repeatedly "The dog ate my baby's head. He's blaming me for it - the baby's gone". No idea if that's accurate or not. It doesn't list who the source was, but I would assume it was the neighbour? Guess we'll know more later on. Waiting for the backlash against spitz breeds to begin now. It'll happen sooner or later, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammybeans Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 The article is very vague which leads me to believe that there is doubt over the dog being involved otherwise they probably would have blatantly stated that the dog was at fault and would probably have been PTS already...it's very sad to think that the dog may be linked to the baby's death though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeonah Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 According to the latest news item the police are waiting for the results of a post mortem. I think there may be more to this than meets the eye. Gary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clare70 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Such a tragic story I so hope the Mal wasn't invloved and won't be punished without all the facts being sorted first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val (Zebedee) Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sorry but why was a dog left with a 6 day old baby That is what most people are asking, and so too did I, but with more & more being released about this & the police taking the parents away for questioning AND the dog not being PTS as in other mauling cases, has the dog been near the child at all? A lot of the stories coming out don't make any sense at the moment & I guess they won't until after the post mortem. Whatever the outcome, RIP, baby girl xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkers23 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Daily mirror front page has a picture of a Mal with "the dogs killed my baby" headline :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydiamond Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 A news this vague shouldn't be published yet IMO =\ it causes nothing but panic and additional bad rep on the said breed of dog. EDIT: but it is indeed a terrible news RIP Eliza Mae xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I thought that article was really vague too and it was poorly written. Didn't make any sense and the whole situation sounds fishy. There has to be more info. Tragic story tho Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goingsolo Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Poor baby such a short life. This story makes me sad and cross, as a parent I never left my babies alone with the dog, even if I went to the bathroom the dog was removed.

Beenz&Carlos Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I wonder if the dog found the baby dead and laid next to it - i hate to say it but the way ours eat chicken, the baby wouldn't be in one piece, let alone much left of it.

mel101094 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 So how many people think this isnt the dog? Im sorry but who leaves any dog with a baby or young child? I know that even though my four sibes are the sweetest dogs ever, i would never under any circumstance leave them alone with a young child or baby. I strongly believe that this mal hasnt attacked this little girl. First of all there was apparently no blood on the dog, im sorry but it would have been covered, they arent exactly neat eaters :/ There would have been nothing left of the baby. There are dangerous dogs but there are also uneducated owners who get these wonderful breeds as a trophy.... I dont know what else to say apart from if this little girl's parents have accused the dog to get a headline in the paper, well they are sick.
