Seems like every week this happens?

The dog got out of a room and apparently went right up and chomped on the baby.  The dog looks like a Boxer/Pit sort of mix, article says Pit Mix, but of course headline says "Pit Bull."  I hope the baby recovers fully.

Sad indeed. Looks like another case of what Karen Delise calls "resident dog" rather than family dog.  Too bad it was not tethered/kenneled, as obviously it was not socialized with the child.  People are such idiots. I feel strongly that criminal charges should be put on people who endanger their children by keeping resident type dogs unconfined... perhaps it would stop the practice.  A dog is either a "family pet" which is socialed to the home and ALL in it, or a "resident dog" which often must be treated almost like a wild  animal since it is treated almost the same.  : (

August is generally the month with the most dog bites, probably due to the horrible heat and fact that kids are out running around more, unattended.

poor baby, poor dog , idiots they should be charged with endangerment and ban from keeping dogs ever hope the baby will be ok  

Just sad.

Sickening.
