Police: 2-week-old Ariz. girl dies in dog attack


The Associated Press
MESA, Ariz. - A 2-week-old Arizona girl has died after being attacked by the family's dog in their home.
Mesa police detective Steve Berry says police were called Wednesday night by a woman who said her daughter had been bitten by a family dog.
Berry says officers found the infant in the living room with bite wounds on her head. The baby was pronounced dead at the scene.
Berry says the mother had placed her daughter in a low-lying bassinet or crib and discovered the attack when she returned a few moments later.
The parents' names weren't released. However, Berry says the father is a Mesa police officer who was at work at the time. The mother is an officer for the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community.
The dog, a chow, was quarantined.

And her mother was where?

 

Thank god it was not an APBT! That's the last thing we need. When you hear about things like this the parents are to blame! why would you leave a baby or child with a dog?!!

 

You don't leave a baby unattended with your dog, IMO I don't care what kind of dog it is

 

^exactly. if only everyone understood this- there would be alot less troubles

 

Especially with a chow. most chows I've been around lack a solid temperment.

 

funny you say that the only dog that has ever just bit me was a chow.

 

I am actually very fond of Chows. One of my favorite breeds. Sad this happened.

 

I've met quite a few even tempered Chows in my short lifetime. All that weren't either had jackholes for owners or idiots for owners

 

Owner ignorance, again.

 

funny how they only mention the breed once..if it was a apbt it would have been

the familys pit bull...attacked by the familys pit bull....ect ect :rolleyes:
