Does someone want to seriously tell me a Yorkie or ANY other breed of dog would have done that.Look at the statistics. Pitbulls are responsible for far more attacks than any other breed. There isn't even a close 2nd. Look it up.I'm sorry if I've offended anyone but I'll never change my mind. BTW the animal control officer that came said the same type of incident happend quite often and 100% of the time the offending dog...A Pitbull. |
The OP asked that this thread not be a Pitbull debate, but I have to respond to your question because to me this is a general safety issue. I am not a Pitbull apologist, BTW.
Yes, many breeds are capable of and have severely and fatally harmed newborns and toddlers. My parents dachshund jumped in my brother's bassinet and tried to hurt him because he was jealous that he had been replaced. The dog was rehomed with a close family friend.
Another example: my family's highly trained, very friendly Airedale hated human babies. We had no idea until she went after our neighbor's baby in a stroller. Luckily we stopped her before she touched the baby.
Great care needs to be taken with babies/toddlers and any dog.
