Ugh.  Horrible, horrible.  Never trust your dog around your baby!  I've read a few stories like this over the years.  :(  I've also read you shouldn't let your baby near your dog unattended until they are like 8 years old.  You never know what your dog might do.

I already worry about our dog around children, so we're definitely going to be boarding her for the day during the 1st b-day party.  Who knows what the extra stress of lots of people around will make the dog do.  In the end they are animals, not humans.

    One of the many reasons I don't care for dogs and will never own one.

    This is a very sad story. You have to be so careful with large dogs (well, any dog) and kids. Like PP said, when you know you are going to have company and a higher stress environment it's best to have the dog in a seperate room or out of the house for the day.

    I am currently taking a course to become a Dogs & Storks presenter for my area so that I can help educate families with new babies and young children the importance of proper training, preventative measures and supervision.

    Interesting.  I didn't know a program like this existed.  What are some of the training techniques?

    https://familypaws.com/category/uncategorized/ Here is the website for the group. I've talked at length with Jennifer (the creator of the program) and it seems to be a great thing. It's well set up, lots of resources, and very informative.

    I knew I would regret reading this post.  Now I'm going to be extremely nervous around the three neighbours dogs and my mom's dog Sad

    how sad!  i actually met an english mastiff yesterday while dd1 and i were on a walk.  he was huge!  the owner said he weighed 160 pounds.  i can't even imagine how strong a dog like that would be.
