If that quote on that forum is correct - I doubt that will ever be released to the public by the police or anyone else.

Although, it could be an important lesson for others.

I just do not understand how a 6 wk old puppy could get this baby out of the swing. I'm betting if they hadn't fed the puppy, they also hadn't fed the pug and it might have taken 2 to get to the baby.

Negligence, laziness - it all turns my stomach, because these people will be like others - they get away with it.

Exactly my thoughts. First off if a dog/pup was attacting the baby it would have been audible, but someone was far enought out of earshot that they couldnt defend their baby???? somethings up when my girls were that tiny i never left them unattended except to get somthing out of another room....and i could still see them. We were also very cautious with our dogs around them, and still are. (just because of the jumping up on ppl issue we are having right now)

#1 rule of being a parent......NEVER LEAVE YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED!
Now i am no Saint i did leave them unattended for no longer than maybe 5min while they were sleeping or in their playpen. but i was always within earshot.


something is not right here!

Incredibly sad. The story sounds feasible. Dogs in general have a thing for dirty diapers. Even a well fed dog. I can't even imagine what that baby went through. This just makes my heart ache.

LOL...I concur!

If this story is true, which makes me feel sick just thinking about it, I find it hard to believe someone did not hear the cries. During nursing school, I had to watch a circumcision, and let me tell you, the cries could have been heard a mile away.

Something is very wrong here. The child was probably left home unattended.

WITHOUT anestetic!!!!!!!

I keep thinking there is no way you could be in the same house and no hear that baby cry.

This story has rocked our entire town. It is all that people talk about in the coffee shops and even at the parks. While at the courthouse this morning I spoke with an officer I have worked with in the past and he just teared up when he spoke of the baby. Please, remember the ones that are involved, many are having a very difficult time with this. Understandable in the least. While I was there a woman was talking about it and said that the puppy had rights too, I have to say I agree and the puppies rights were forfeited.If this is the truth, the puppy was not at fault, his care givers were. Bless his heart and the babies heart. I feel for the family members outside of the parents. I lost my nephew at the age of one due to neglect of the parents. Other hurt, he was someones family member outside of being some ones neglected son.

If this turns out to be true, parents should be sent to jail for child abuse
and animal abuse never to see daylight on the outside again.
I have no pity for these people. If it's not true parents still should be
charge with child abuse for not attending to their screaming baby.
I had a colicy baby and walked the floors night and day until I was ready
to drop. You don't leave, especially a boy screaming because they can
develop a hernia like my son did even walking him day and night.
They are unfit no matter what the outcome! That poor child is safe
and sound now in better hands to be sure.

All I can say is what the crap. A six week old puppy could do this. What about the pug. I have always been told if one dog charges (attacks) the others also will. Why did they assume the lab did it and not the pug? Makes no sense to blame one puppy. The pug is bigger and fatter. Also I have been told pugs are mean as heck.

.

Evidence led to the lab,not the pug.

The pug is bigger and fatter. Also I have been told pugs are mean as heck.



My daughter has a pug and he is the sweetest, gentlest dog ever.
Buddy is fresh next to him. He just chills out!

One thing pugs as a breed are NOT is mean. There are bad eggs, I'm sure, but they are VERY sweet, loveable dogs in general.

I read the quote on that website...disgusting. :( I can see how the lab puppy could have done that, if the swing was open on the side for the baby's legs or if it was a car-seat type swing. It wouldn't have been necesary to knock the baby out of the swing if that's what actually happened.

Shame on the parents - if that is the case they should be charged with child abuse/neglect and animal abuse.

I do feel bad for the parents because regardless of how good of a parent one is, there can't be much worse than losing your baby. But I do believe that they are responsible.

Yes, all parents leave their babies alone at some point. But NOT for an hour and a half without checking on them and NOT in a swing with 2 dogs in the room. They were in the wrong, and that poor baby and dog had to pay the price. and if that's actually what happened, there's NO WAY they didnt hear that screaming if they were in the next room - or even the same HOUSE - as that child.

omg that is so sad...and to think a puppy did it also...that is very very sad

As a mother of a baby in diapers, and a mother of Diesel, aka Nasty Boy, I can honestly say a well fed dog will still go after a nasty diaper. They are dogs, they like stinky things. Not saying this pup was well cared for or not. Since it was only 6 weeks old, they probably just got it and most people take care of a new puppy, just because its new. Usually they start neglecting it when it becomes not so new anymore.
I am thinking, if the baby was indeed left in the swing overnight because of colic, and obviously everyone in the house was too lazy to care for it, he had probably been in a messy diaper all night.
How anyone could not hear the screams is beyond me. If he wasnt screaming, I would wonder if he had sustained some sort of injury before that or if he was severely dehydrated and too tired to cry.

I think the parent's did it not the puppy !

very good point!

I don't like jumping to conclusions but this has occured to me. It just doesn't make sense that they did not hear the babies screams and cries.

Is it possible they did it and are now trying to cover it up? I can't help but to think this.

I'm hoping they are brought up on charges for neglect. it would be career suicide for anyone involved if they don't. Oklahoman's have had so many children dead this summer due to neglect, to push us further would be a very bad move.:mad:

i hate to say but i think its some kind of cover up to

and i know that you arent supposed to judge anyone much less just by looking at them..but they didnt look like...they had every thing together..and im not the only one thinking that im sure...

i have a 7 month old and a 3 year old..i have a 2 yr yorkie female, 6 old mean yorkie mix..LOL (she doesnt like our 3 yr old) a 8 month old male yorkie and a 6 month old golden retriever and i never thought of this being a problem i leave the room for different things off and on all day but i can always hear my kids and 9 out of 10 i can see them and my dogs have run of the house..not the golden way to big...and the dogs seem to KNOW the difference between me and my husband and the 3 yr old and 7 mo old..butter ball the golden will jump and nip all over the 3 yr old and then right after calmly walk to the baby and lick his hands very sweetly then go back to jumpin on the 3 year old

our mean yorkie mix is very vocal about our 3 year old but has never never bit him...she just tries to scare him and she would bite if she felt she needed to but she knows they are kids, little humans and the dogs are very good to them

i just dont get this..i know dogs go after dirty diapers..but wow i dont think they would even be able to attack the baby, get it out of the swing and bite into the diaper and stuff

oh and when babies cry it doesnt matter if you are at another end of the house you can still hear them..i can hear neighbors babies cry sometimes..

and i totally agree with the person who said some humans need to be fixed .

another thing i was thinking..

supposedly the father of the baby & the grandpa, had both left the house that morning.. it very well could be the mom has severe postpartum depression! & ON TOP of that is way too young and naive to have a good judgement of things and raising a child(her mom was probably not a good role model either!:thumbdown) Seeing a picture of the grandma.. puffing on her cig as her daughter was being taken to the hospital to be checked.. she was just standing there not showing ANY (sad) emotion:eek:.. and im honestly not one to judge(really.. it is one of my pet peeves..)BUT she did not look too good & had many physical signs of drug abuse. just another thought.. not saying any detail..(like what went on in the house and how everything exactly panned out.. but i most definitely blame the mom.. and also the grandma! she should be smart enough to know her young daughter may not know how to care for this baby.(especially if postpartum depression DID play a role..) :confused: :mad: so sad and it is so tragic this had to be the result.. poor baby-poor doggie!!:(:(

:thumbup: .. good point ....

I don't get it ... this is so sad .... :(

i know! :(

Are there any updates on this story?

hopefully the truth will come out in this..

have just read this thread - its heartbreakingly sad:( and i agree with all who have said that the puppy shouldnt have been euthanised before a full investigation was carried out) in cases like this it seems that the thinking is - destroy dog, problem solved. there was something similar a while back here in the UK and all the newspaper headlines screamed: DEVIL DOGIMO there is no such thing as a 'bad dog' only a bad owner - and in this case bad parents (and grandparents)

What in the world:eek::eek: this is just so wierd, poor baby:cry:

That's the EXACT thing that went through my mind the day I saw the clip of the kid-parents and the grandmother looking snarly.
Such a heartbreaker for the baby and the puppy. The pug looked like it had puppies not too long ago.

This is the craziest thing I've heard in a long time. :eek: Rest in peace little baby and puppy

that sadly does make sense........ i really hope they do get to the bottom of this and justice is served..
