I don't know that I buy into the theory of a 'jealousy issue'.
Human stupidity issue of course and as usual but jealousy?
If the dog had the baby by the neck and was genuinely violent towards the baby, why not a death shake or dispatch right there in the room? I don't know, usually when we hear of these types of regretable situations there is a direct biting attack involved, not a 'drag off into the woods'.
Just seems there should be more to the story.

Stupid people shouldn't breed.
Stupid people shouldn't own dogs.
Common sense tells a person not to leave a newborn and a dog alone.
I feel for the baby and it's idiotic parents.
I feel for the wolf-hybrid who most likely acted on instinct & prey drive - not jealousy.
He didn't ask to be born. Now he is in doggy jail waiting to be put down.
He has no clue why his family has deserted him. None.
Stupid people shouldn't cross wolves with any domestic dogs.
A pitiful mess all the way around!

After watching the story on ABC news, I cannot see where the parents were being "stupid". I have a 20 month old son, and as a first time mom, I left his door partially open for the first six months of his life to ensure that I could hear him should he wake, or cry. I also have two working line GSD's. Never once, did I ever consider the possibility that one of my dogs could go take my son from his crib or bassinet. In the same fashion, I'm sure the thought never crossed this family's mind. Stupid would have been leaving the child on the floor with the dog unsupervised, but that is not the case here. Before you jump to conclusions, try to remember what it was like to be a parent of a young child with dogs in the house.
As for the breeding bit, from what ABC reported, the family obtained the dog at a young age from a local shelter. And, I believe it was described as a Native American mix, not a wolf hybrid. Additionally, the father seemed very saddened by the dog's future. He spoke of it as being a part of the family that would be missed.
However, I do agree whole heartedly with the parents decision regarding the dog. While it is a sad situation all around, if it comes down to a dog, or the safety of my child, you can be assured, with no questions asked, the dog is gone, or "deserted" as it was put.
