Baby killed by family dog on 1st birthday
 
Just another reason why I have a cat

A baby's first birthday party turned tragic when he was killed by the family's dog during the celebration.

WARNING -- Graphic Description Below:

The Las Vegas Sun reports that the 120-pound Mastiff/Rhodesian mix had never displayed any previous signs of aggression toward people, according to the family who lives in Henderson, Nev.

The baby crawled over to the dog to pet him, the police reported. The Daily Mail writes that Chris Shahan, the baby's father, believes his son tried to grab the dog’s fur to stand up when the dog reacted.

The dog ... latched his jaws around the boy's head and began shaking him, police said. The grandmother attempted to pull the boy from the dog while other family members rushed to help, police said.
Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Shahan said, "I got the dog off the baby ... I tried to save my baby."

According to the reporter in the My News 3 KSNV video below, Shahan "wants to be clear that this was an accident, not some kind of vicious attack."

According to KLAS-TV, the dog will be observed for rabies, and will then be euthanized.

The baby's paw should have been paying better attention.

It's a dog eat kid world.

What a bitch.

That's horrible. Can't imagine the horrors that family is going through having to experience something like that.

I dont have kids but I would NEVER have a huge dog when I have a baby living at home. Seems like the parents should be held responsible as well.

Scruff McGruff got tired of taking a bite out of crime; and went after kids instead.

The parents must be barking mad about this incident

The last thing the parents need is to be hounded by authorities.

People that place the blame on the breed are just barking up the wrong tree.

I agree. They should call off the dogs on this one.
