Guess What Breed Killed This Baby?

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/09/29/baby-found-dead-in-bassinet-was-killed-by-family-dog-authorities.html

A coroner has determined that a 1-month-old boy who died at his home was killed by a family dog.

Authorities say the baby was found dead Sept. 20 in his bassinet at the Knox County home about 60 miles northeast of Columbus. County Coroner Dr. Jennifer Ogle said Wednesday that the baby suffered extensive injuries, including puncture wounds to his head.

Ogle’s news release said the autopsy revealed no trauma from any source other than a dog. The release said the infant was healthy and well cared for prior to his death.

The family’s two dogs, described as “pit bull, or a pit bull mix,” have been euthanized.

Knox County’s prosecutor has said the baby’s 25-year-old father apparently woke up to find the infant dead.

The Columbus Dispatch reported that the homeowner, Teddy Hagans, told 911 that the boy was in the bassinet. When the dispatcher asked if he wanted to try CPR on the boy, the man reportedly declined, saying the injuries were too severe.

The boy’s mother, who is not married to Hagans, was reportedly not home at the time. She reportedly called authorities to inform them that her mother was driving her to the scene over the speed limit, and asked to not pull them over.

    SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRUE!

    Saw this story earlier and no big surprise.

    About a year ago my son wanted to let his little rescued brindle boxer run and play with other dogs at a local dog park. Everything went fine until some white trash woman came with two pit bulls. All the others picked up their dogs and left.

    It's not just Pits , they can be excellent pets if socialized correctly. Some of the best dogs ive been around were Pits and mixes ( also some of the worst). An infant shouldn't be left alone with ANY dog. I've seen a very similar situation involving a chocolate lab and a 7 year old girl. I blame the parents

    I'm a bulldog aficionado. Been raising bulldogs of various breeds since I was in middle school.

    There are some English bulldogs I wouldn't trust around children. Not to maul them but to snap a quick bite at them out of annoyance. English bullies have a tendency to get grouchy when they're old.

    I would never leave a pit unattended around a child. Nonetheless, I've known many that were well adjusted and friendly. When a pit mauls, it usually seems to be some sort of predator-prey instinct that kicks in. Its so hard to generalize with pits because they come from so many different bloodlines. The pits of yesteryear when dog fighting was legal or at least tolerated were less vicious because they were selectively bred in the open and they were bred to tolerate humans handling them in the ring. A fighting pit of that era would have been eliminated from the gene pool if it ever spun around and bit the hand tending its wound or separating it from another dog. These days, because fighting is an underground activity and closely intertwined with the drug culture, pits are only selected for viciousness if selected at all.

    The most monstrous dog is not a pit. It is a Scott type American bulldog. EVERY Scott type I've ever raised had to be put down for viciousness, as has every Scott type ever raised by anyone I've ever known. I even knew a woman who had a Scott type maul and kill her toddler a few years ago after I saw both the child and the dog together at a bulldog show just 2 weeks before the mauling. They enjoy catching and killing things. They are highly intelligent and have devilish, sociopathic, personalities. As where a pit will just mentally snap and go crazy, Scott American bulldogs seems to plan out and take pleasure in their attacks. And I've never been able to break one from viciousness, even when hand-raised and kept in my own bed. Good as catch dogs. And not much else. Which supposedly these are the genetically closest thing that exists to what bulldogs were in the Middle Ages, when they were know to be the most vicious dogs on earth.

    I have never raised a Johnson-type American. When my Old English expires I may try one.

    I currently raise Old English Bulldogs. They are reproductions of the old Bulldogs but with better personalities. So far, they are the best family companion dogs I've ever owned. Tough, athletic, brave, friendly, and protective. I'd trust my two with any child.

    If I had my way all pits would be required to be microchipped so owners could be linked to the animals when they do get loose and wreak violence on other animals and people. Been a lot of pits that destroyed other folks livestock and pets. When owners were confronted- they said the pits were not theirs. Guess they can always get another one. I'm sure there are exceptions with every breed - just my personal experience over the years show they (pits) need to be treated like a loaded firearm - don't leave one around a kid without supervision.

    Pit-bull owner here and not by choice, met my GF that has the dog. It got along very well with my aging lab, once it died of cancer my GF got a new lab puppy for me within 4 days of his death. The pit-bull is constantly attacking the dog in a friendly manner, however, there have been a few occasions where it wasn't just play time. I could see where it could get bad if the lab pisses the pit off too much.

    The pit constantly barks and tends to show his teeth in a aggressive manner. Bottom line, I just don't trust the dog. Been a year and a half already without too many small attacks from the pit on the lab.

    There is no way in hell that I would ever get or suggest to someone to get one. They're wired wrong!

    I would actually support that for any dog. The reason being is I don't trust most people to adequately distinguish between breeds and failure to correctly label a dog as pit or non-pit would lead to unequal and unfair enforcement of any such law. So just make all dogs be microchipped with up-to-date owner information.

    I do not support bans on any breed.

    My bro in law has two. One is scared of water and a couch potato and the other will lick the skin right off you because of love. Most people think its the breed but its the owner who's at fault, imo.

    My friend is watching is sons pit. I said im not coming over with that dog. He said come on you wimp. I said ok. I get there and walk past the dog to the bathroom where I was putting a bandaid on a razor cut. Dog started growling and convulsing at me. I closed the door and told him to put the dog up. He said it has never done that before and it must have thought I was afraid. I said of course I'm afraid. That's my point. GD dog. I wanted to kill it.

    She was convulsing? Maybe someone she ate was not agreeing with her stomach.

    So
    Was working a case last sat on a public dog allowed beach park.
    Public beach east of Palm Valley

    Three fattish mom daughter combo with skinny black pit on leash would go ballistic on every other dog walker
    with their well behaved pets on leash.

    I thought it was a matter of time before the dog
    would pull free or break leash.
    Fortunately, it did not happen

    They hauled **** at 4

    BTW
    Lotsa folks looking for shark teeth near there.
    Apparently uncovered after the storm.

    Have read similar stories many times by those professionals who treat and/or shelter dogs.

    They cannot be trusted and must always be considered dangerous.



    EDIT:

    Am supporting the effort to have them micro chipped to show ownership. Secondly, and mainly to prevent white trash and ghetto dwellers from owning for their twisted ego needs, requiring proof of a $100,000 liability insurance policy be carried by the owner whenever the dog is taken out of the house.

    Is this another one of your tall tales, like your squatter’s story and how they were dangerous people you were too afraid to kick them off your property? :grin

    Show me a jerk dog, and I will show you a jerk owner!
    Good luck with the liability law. There is also a law about auto insurance, it seems to be ignored by a certain crowd as well............
