2-Week-Old Baby Girl Killed by Family Dog
 

MESA, Arizona — A 2-week-old Arizona girl has died after being attacked by the family's dog in their home.

Mesa police detective Steve Berry says police were called Wednesday night by a woman who said her daughter had been bitten by a family dog, according to KTVK-TV.

Berry says officers found the infant in the living room with bite wounds on her head. The baby was pronounced dead at the scene.

Berry says the mother had placed her daughter in a low-lying bassinet or crib and discovered the attack when she returned a few moments later.

The parents' names weren't released. However, Berry says the father is a Mesa police officer who was at work at the time. The mother is an officer for the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community.

The dog, a chow, was quarantined.

they just said they put the dog down wow:( oh she is a cop so is her husband

That's terrible

I am glad they put that thing down

RIP :( that's terrible..

cops...........

never leave an infant unattended with an animal. fucking dumb asses...

2 weeks old? I feel terrible for that family

Wow I cannot even imagine the pain that family is going through.

man that really sucks , RIP

Probably still able to pick her out of the dogs teeth. Never know... Might be able to revive her someday.

thats sad :( .. a baby that should never be left alone , especially with a family pet in the room... :(

that poor family. chows are notorious for not being good with children. hardest lesson that mom will ever learn about motherhood.

So sad,how terrible

Chows are obviously evil dogs and people should be banned form owning them in fact the entire breed should be made extict.

Damn, thats pretty shitty. Suck for the family.

I hate chows...

Fuck. I have two kids. I can't even imagine the pain. I would have skinned my dog alive.

the worst thing about it is that no matter how much pain you inflict on the dog, it still wouldn't realize WHY it was getting punished.

so its like you never get vengeance

doesn't matter the breed, dogs feel intimidated by babies for whatever reason.

I'd still skin the fucker alive.

and then someone should skin the mom alive for being irresponsible enough to leave an infant that young unattended in a low crib when there is a dog around.

:2 cents:

wow that is really sad :(

Skin the dog.... then the mother.... then the dog again...

omg i would go mid evil on his ass and she i wint say what would happen 2 her i bet their house is full of crying right now:( ive been close to something like that

prime example why they are DOGS.

That is horrible :(

geez that has to be horrible

lol...

stupid people eh

Ive heard they are very dangerous dogs. On the same level as Pits & Rots...those are two breeds that need to go bye bye and only be seen in zoo cages.

I have scars on the inside of my left arm from "our family" Chow ... fucking piece of shit wouldn't let me in my own house one night .. it was going nuts .. I used my shin to push it away from the door .. it bit my foot .. I went to kick it with my other foot and it bit it .. went to push it away and it lunged ..clamped on to my left forearm .. and swung off of it ripping my arm to pieces .. I ran down stairs grabbed my rifle .. chased it out of the house shot at it 4 times .. thought I got it .. it ran away .. woke up in the morning to the "jingle" of his collar ... took 2 yrs for it to finally die of lead poisoning .. I hate Chows ..

There's a Chow that lives 3 doors down from me. He's a nasty piece of work.

My Lab growls at him, because he smells evil like a fart in car.

I can't even look at that dog because he has the biggest freak balls, like 2 giant potatoes.

do a favor to the universe.. kill a Chow

Horrible story. But hey, leaving a baby unattended in the presence of an animal, regardless what kind, is just asking for trouble.

that is some sad ..stuff

I love how a lot of you are blaming the dog. You should be blaming the mother. The dog was not used to having a baby in the house. That is why as a parent you are supposed to be watching your child. Not leave it in a bassinet low to the ground while you go to the bathroom. I live in AZ and they gave more info on the story tonight.

Actually he was mocking people. It's not the breeds.

thats so sad.

blaming the dog uh yeah and im in Phoenix lol http://www.gfy.com/images/icons/tongue2.gif ive never let a dog run my house or live in it

Dumb ass pet owners. I'm starting to think people should have a license to be able to get any, even if it's just a dog or cat.

Oh my that's terrible.

That is terrible...too sad to hear that...

something tells me that they probably taught there dog to be mean or attack... cops want guard dogs, not friends... cops are like that, its as much the owners fault as the animal, and thats why they put the animal down so quick, they know the animal sh0uldnt been around the kid.

When my son was first born, our akita would follow him where ever we put him. She would lay next to his crib and not move. Next to his play pen and not move. She would shake when he would cry. She wanted to mother him. She was always smelling him. But we never let her close to him. we kept her so she could not reach him JUST IN CASE.

ONce he started to walk, she stayed away from him.

That's you. Plenty of people let their dogs inside. I know I do. To live in AZ and keep a dog outside in the summer full time is fucked up. If you live here then you heard there was more to that story then you posted. You do not leave a baby or a kid with a dog ever. Dogs can turn easily on people, even if you had them for years. Blaming the dog is stupid. You blame the human who is should know better. :2 cents:

just sad,no ore comments

Someone call Cesar Millan

Wow sad story, but I'd never have any dog no matter what the breed is around a new born child.. That is major parenting fail TBH.

musta been a pitbull / chow cross, cuz the only dangerous animal in the world s a pitbull
