3-day-old girl killed by family dogs, Fresno police say

10. this isn't the first timeI have heard of dogs eating newborn children.

I am not sure they recognize them as human. there was that woman who spent 3 days in the hospital giving birth and then left her baby with her dog after no food or water for days to go out and buy dog food. Well you know. or the man that was punishing his dog (lab) by not feeding it, and was babysitting a baby. babies are fragile, you are supposed to take care of them. having something smaller than a cat making noise in front of a hungry dog, I don't know.

pssst - I use a plastic covered metal lead (40 ft long) to keep my dog in my unfenced back yard while I am gardening or barbecuing. she doesn't seem to mind the lead but prefers to be inside most of the time to lie on one of the couches or dog beds she has everywhere.

ETA - if you have a vicious dog and don't train it. you should not have a dog. Period. avoid tragedies before they happen. I was told the dog I adopted was vicious (she was not) and she was not allowed anywhere near children or even adults until I was sure she was fine and tolerant.
