To think there may be something more to this recent dog mauling?

[curiousgeorgie]

Horrifically sad story about the 6 day old baby killed by an Alaskan Malamute in Wales.

But it seems a little bit odd... The death hasn't been listed as a dog attack, the police will not comment and say they're still investigating, also, the dog hasn't been destroyed?

In other cases like this I don't think there was such a delay?

Or maybe I'm reading too much into a DM article...

Awful anyway. Poor little baby

The report did say that the dog was in the street after the 'attack' and that it looked fine with no evidence of having attacked recently and was led away by a neighbour.

And the reports conflict greatly as to the baby dying on the way to the hospital in an air ambulance, vs the alleged quote by the mother as a version of events.

Very peculiar the dog not being destroyed.

And very peculiar the police won't confirm it was a dog attack, which has been usual in lots of other stories like this, where the information has come out as quickly as the news report.

It's not ghoulish, it's just been confusing, and it does seem like there might be more to the story.

Ghoulish is speculation over the what-ifs.the insinuation that something amiss
Inferring something amiss because there seem to be various account of events and timings
In a fast moving human interest story there are many media accounts.

The police will release more info and PM results when known

This is most definitely ghoulish but I'm not surprised

Dogs, especially usually very passive females can have strange reactions to the noises a Baby makes.

The Baby is an intruder, to the dog, once the baby is being cuddled etc, then it us a massive cause of jealously.

To say that a dog attack couldn't happen in seconds, is ridiculous. If you are bottle feeding, then you ideally don't hold the baby whilst handling boiling water/kettles.

Obviously the dog should of been outside, but that, given the death of a baby, is unnecessary to point out.

I have told the story before of the death of a baby in my family, it turned out from a rare form of Bronchiolitus.

As is standard, my relatives (the parents) were arrested. The Newspaoer printed a load of inaccuracies.
It was also keen to point out that the baby had a broken rib ( but left out that it was from being resuscitated).

It has since been upheld that our Local Paper states that it is usual for arrest to happen in any subsiquent stories.

Their behaviour was disgusting.

The family home was ransacked and set on fire.

Posters on here may be "innocently" spectating, but others won't be.

I hope that any untruths printed, as one Poster has said us happening, are quickly righted.

Just to add, no-one would believe how vicious my Male German Shepherd (now dead) could be.

We had a near miss with a delivery driver because he came into the garden, were I was with the dog, even though I shouted to him not to.

My dog went into attack mode in seconds and as quick was back to being a "big puppy" once the "threat" had gone.

Your poor neighbour - so strange how normally rational humans react to things like this, like the killing of poor little Dachshunds in WW2

Evening all,
we just thought now might be a good time to remind everyone that this is a very sensitive and terrible case and there isn't much hard information going round. We certainly don't know who we are speaking to on the internet, so it might be worth bearing in mind the request from the police, who said. "We respectfully ask that you wait for the investigation to run its proper course".
