I remember a news story from a few years ago where a couple claimed their puppy (I'm thinking pit bull) chewed off the right hand fingers of their newborn baby. What they didn't tell police and hospital staff was that they were wiped out on dope and were asleep on a mattress on the floor with the baby in a baby seat next to them. That puppy did, indeed, chew off the fingers but it wasn't with one bite and it took a while. So this poor baby is laying there screaming in pain and they were too doped up to even wake up. Sigh. They were, at least, sent to jail and the puppy was put to sleep. The baby went in to foster care. |
