that things with the word "canus lupus" in their species classification shouldn't be left with babies. Canus lupus familiaris - the family dog - is only a subspecies of canus lupus - the wolf.
"Only" 17 deaths of kids by dogs per year in the US?
OK, if that doesn't impress you... 2% of the population of the US is bitten by dogs every year. 368,000 people go to the ER with their injuries every year..... that's the fifth most common cause for an ER visit.
Every American has a 1 in 50 chance of being bitten by a dog every year.
I've had dogs my entire life, but I would never leave a dog... even my Labs... with a baby.
