You might enjoy this story. My bull mastiff bitch is a large girl and she hates having her nails clipped, so I pay our vet to have it done.
The procedure involves one of his more physical assistants using a sort of half-nelson on her—and her eyes are almost all white during the drill—while he scurries from front to back and side to side with his nail-clippers.
I was trying to be helpful by kibitizing while they worked ...
The assistant lost her grip, the good doctor jumped on—they were being very professiona, very serious and I slammed the floor with my palm and said, “She’s tapped out!” and they both broke up. We finally got that last toe-nail. I like my vet.
ANY DOG. Their own dog. 6 months old BABY for crying out loud. I would be careful what PEOPLE got near a 6 month old.
Blame the SUV, blame the dog.

I didn't see the sarc tag, so I assume you were serious. Let me correct you, ALL DOGS BITE. Ask mailmen, meter readers, plumbers, service techs, if a home owner has ever told them “don't worry he doesn't bite” just before he bit them.
Owners generally think THEIR dog won't bite. All dogs bite. Under the right conditions they will bite YOU! When dealing with small children, you can't take any chances. You can't trust the dog, you can't trust the kid.
One half of a happen ending, the pos owner died, now use the dog for target practice, love those people, my pit is a family pet would not hurt a fly. Sure but if I catch it running loose you will never see him again.
“Presa Canario”
That was the breed of dog that killed that woman in California.
Off your meds?
What?
You are so right.
We have a German Shepherd/Chow mix. It bites, no question.
People ask us if our dog bites and we say yes. Then for some reason they are suprised when they try and pet it and get bit.
We also have a Newfoundland. It is hard to imaging it would bite. BUT you never know. With small children I would be more worried about him knocking them over playing.
I would never leave even our sweet Newfie alone with a small child.
“So what happened here? Did the dog bite the baby in the jugular? Did the baby die of blood loss? Or did this dog break the boy’s neck?”
My guess is the dog got aggravated with the kid, grabbed it by the neck like it was correcting a mischievious puppy and gave it a shake. It would be easy for a dog that size to unintentionally break a 6 month olds neck that way.
Generally, I agree with you. But, I was serious about my golden. From experience, I can say she could be working on a marrow bone for an hour, and any stranger, including a 4 year old, could come up to her and take it away. Her reaction would be to lick you and wag until you gave it back, or hope you continue to play “bone” with her. Of course, she is not one of those marxist muslim terrorist canines.
