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.

There are a lot things around here that you don't seem to get. I'm surprised you still frequent this site.

Zach went stray once and when he was returned he had been neutered much to my surprise.

In the case of this story, there isn't really a moral or a lesson to be learned. It doesn't speak to anything people haven't known for years- that really big dogs can mess up a human being's shit. All this is obvious for anybody with a brain. Same goes with the kid in the wood chipper story, except in that case I think a lot of people know about the safety of not wearing loose clothing around those things and for sure keeping your ****ing kids away from them, but it took an accident like this to SEE the damage that can and does get caused.

With this news story, no disrespect to Nucky, but there's an SNR-grandparent kind of sexual attraction to this shit. Makes it all the more prevalent when you throw in the added bonus of "AND IT WAS ON THE KID'S FIRST BIRTHDAY, TOO!" If you're going to report tragic shit like that, for god's sake do it discreetly (I'm talking about the Huffington Post, not Nucky here). Instead, the story becomes widely circulated by people who think it's important to read about every shit rape thing that happens in the world.

I didn't need to hear about this story. The kid wasn't important or prevalent (the child of someone famous). The tragedy didn't expose or bring to the surface important information. All it did was lay on the tragedy real thick with a butter knife and cause parents reading this to go through a few minutes of hell thinking about if this had been their child. And I'm not going to acknowledge the reporting job with the expected solemn, proper "RIP" or even a "God the parents are ****ing idiots". I'm going to make puns about it.

Because if you're going to make the tragedy damn near comical, then I'll be glad to play along.

No disrespect taken, I actually didnt seek out this terrible story. It was one of the top trending articles on the Huffingtonpost and I just couldnt avoid it.

Believe me, I'm all for making politically incorrect jokes (South Park happens to be one of my favorite shows) but DAMN. Some of you guys are heartless ****s

Schadenfreude is not the same thing as a sense of humor.

I"m not gonna lecture you, but don't try and tell people who don't find this funny that they lack one.

This story seems a bit far fetched

Here is another example of stupidity....

Actually, they sew the Cobra's mouth shut when they do this stupid crap. The kid isn't in any danger..

I figured the snake was de-fanged or something. Still, towards the end of the video, with the snake wrapping its body around the child's head: that can't be too safe.

I believe it is defanged but i fail to see the logic in letting a snake near a toddler.

It's dober, man. Let it go.

InChiefsHeaven · 05-02-2012, 06:50 AM

Accident...the dog accidentally mauled the kid...how the **** does that happen?

It's a vicious attack dumbass. I'd shoot the ****ing dog myself. I'm sure nobody saw it coming, and I'm sure the dog has never done that before, but when you have an animal in your house that poops bigger than you do, you are playing with fire.

That sucks all around.

This is such a consistent addition to these kinds of stories, you'd think that owners of large breed dogs would see that over and over and scratch their head in self examination. But evidently it's easier to convince yourself that your animal is the exception...

Could have done without this headline.

I know it's common place to post news stories around here but they always seem to involve something horrific. What's up with that? If there's a tragic death out there, you can bet your bottom dollar CP is bringing the news to you on it.

Even if you don't click on the thread you get the gist of it from the title.

Thanks.
