She did wrong. But she doesn't know that. She just knows that she isn't home. If I could afford her I would adopt her. Datoka needs another chance to live out her life. She did wrong.

The dog probably heard the infant crying or whimpering and thought it was helping! We have a large dog and although we trust him we would never have left our baby alone in his company or somewhere the dog could get at him. It is the dogs natural instinct to lift crying young that they think are in danger and move them somewhere else. This dog should be rehomed to a more understanding family.

Very iresponsible people to have such a large animak around a newborn! Regardless if the dog hasn't done this in the past....IT"S STILL AN ANIMAL! These people are stupid.

The door was closed but evidently not latched (however, my dog can open a doorknob on his own sometimes, so who knows...we've all done that before---thought we closed a door and didn't.) They were pretty vigilent if the child was only out of their site for a few minutes. Everyone always wants to play the blame game, but this truly seems like one of those unfortunate incidences that could not have been predicted. We're expecting our first and I've had my sweet dog for 10 years, but we will never leave him alone with the baby, not even once, just in case something happens. It sounds like the dog thought the infant was a toy, and not seriously trying to harm it. (Punctured lungs likely due to the weight of the dog trying to carry the child and not the dog trying to maul the child.) Just my thoughts. It's a sad situation all around.

The dog does not think like a human.

People fail to remember that a dog does not has the brain that a human has. He probably didn't even realize what he was doing was wrong. The parents should be the ones to blame here. You should NEVER allow a dog or any other animal around your newborn child. That dog should not be killed. People fail to remember that a dog does not has the brain that a human has.
