4-Year-Old Girl Attacked by Dog at Carlsbad Restaurant

[ileus]

49. My vet come to our house for a house call with her 2yo boy.

While she was in her trunk getting her bag out for our GSD her kid showed up out of nowhere. I hadn't seen her take him out of his car seat and put him down in the driveway until our Shepherd was nose to nose with the first infant he'd ever encountered.

Now I have zero proof that our boy was going to attack the child, but I know his prey drive kicks in on anything eye level and below so I wasn't gonna take any chances. I scooped up the kid in a hot minute, without a word and carried him off. LOL....I later apologized to her for grabbing up her kid and explained I didn't know how Jax was gonna react. Better safe than a dead 2yo...dog owners have to start being honest with themselves instead of "what was that child/man/woman" doing to cause the attack" I know I sure am.

A dog thrown into a strange situation is sometimes unreliable. Just because your dog hasn't attacked anything before, doesn't mean it won't chow down on the neighbor, neighbors child, neighbors cat, dog, Deer, Bear, Turkey, Cow, Goat, or anything else.

Some dogs are hard to socialize...
