Dogs are dangerous.

They are trained not to be. Dogs can be highly trained and still disobey commands that doesnt mean that its the owners fault that they were not trained.

It is however the owners fault to leave them unattended with an infant.

The tradgedy here is that three lives have been lost due to the careless owners actions.

I grew up with a nasty jr, was NEVER bitten/attacked by him-why?? was never let alone with him, when i was learning to crawl etc he was kept outside etc.
Even our current jr-big softie but we wouldnt leave him alone with my cousins little one as he gives the baby a "look" and defiantly gets jealous when we pay the baby attention when he starts to cry etc.
NO dog should ever be left aone with a small child or baby, regardless of breed and wether they are good tempered or not

Parents should be strung up for being so irresponsible, stupid people. Kids of that age should be in a cot if unnatended with or without dogs around. RIP dogs and little one!

Staffies are ace dogs, my mate has one and a toddler and they get on and play all the time its great to watch!
