Why would you leave a baby on a bed with a dog by itself anyways? I would never leave my baby alone with a any dog, because sometimes dogs behave differently around babies. For example, my mom's cocker did not like my nephew crying when he was an infant, would growl everytime he did. We did not think she would hurt him, but still we never took any chances. This only happened when he cried, any other time she would just lay under his bed and lick him to death. I guess she liked kissing babies like we do.
