keep your babies and young children separate from dogs unless you're right there holding them...
I notice that this dog was raised by this family so its not like it was trained to be a killer....
its the nature of the beast..
so very sad for the young family and their now gone young innocent daughter...such a beautiful child...

Unimaginable to me. The regrets they must have...
I met a friend’s dog yesterday. She’s a golden retriever. Barely more than a pup, she is energetic and rambunctious. As adorable as she is, I would not want her too close to an infant unless I had total control. Never been blessed with kids so it’s a potential problem I should never have to deal with.
There seems to me a significant difference among different breeds of dogs. I’ve no doubt a dog’s behavior is greatly influenced by how it’s treated and trained by the owner, but genetics seems to play a big difference in what to expect from a dog’s nature.
Two things I never trust around dogs...drunks and children.
Agreed, we have a 90 pound bundle of love that's a Shepherd/Rott mix. She's been with us 3 years, and my son found her as a stray.
Biggest dog I've ever had, and I get a bit wary when we play rough. Smart dog, too...she hangs around me most of the time, as I'm the one that feeds her and takes her for walks. lol
She plays well with my 7YO grandson, who's used to being around larger dogs. I just have to be careful not to let it get out of hand. And I'd NEVER let her near an infant/toddler.
