Police: Dog Kills 2-Month-Old Infant In Tulsa - FOX23 News
The medical examiner will determine the exact cause of death of a two month old infant.
For now--- police believe a black labrador puppy attacked and killed the baby.
The boy died inside the home at 101st and Evanston late this morning. Police say the infant was left unattended in a swing with two dogs in the room, the lab puppy and a pug. The black lab has been euthanized.
A neighborhood was stunned to hear a two-month old baby was attacked and killed in his own home.
"It's shocking and it's tragic and it's really hard to watch it. I feel helpless and I feel like I need to do something to help them," said neighbor Heegin Davis.
EMSA says any dog can turn dangerous.
"Even a very familiar family dog can turn on you, puppies specifically, they're unpredictable, they're young, they got a lot of hormones going on, you've never know what they're gonna do," says Chris Stevens of EMSA.
In fact, nearly all the dog bites EMSA has treated in the last three months have involved dogs the children have known.
"Never let an animal sleep in the same room as your child, have your pets spade or neutered, it does relieve a lot of the aggression."
While EMSA says it's rare for a child to die from a dog attack, many attacks leave serious wounds, because there's virtually nothing a child can do, to fend off an animal.
