They said on the radio this morning it was a husky/jack russell cross. FFS.
Youāre saying we should reform this child killing dog and reintroduce him to society?

Dog folk are very strange.
Tragic, but preventable indeed. The dog had probably given plenty of warning signs, such as looking at the child for a split second too long, snarling, etc. Thatās the minute a responsible dog owner does one of two things. One, retrain the dog into knowing it is bottom of the pecking order and youāre alpha, and two, get rid of the bastard.
Edit: According to @Watchyourtoes the dog was a guest. Fuck me, this gets worse. A strange dog allowed free roam of a house with a baby.
A dog should never be head honcho in a house. Never.

Mongrels can be like Frankenstein if the wrong traits are mixed.
considering the first post here is about banning dangerous breeds of dogs, with rumours of labradors, huskys and Jack Russells being the mix of breed here, the issue of dangerous breeds of dogs is completely irrelevant to the discussion here. Unless we just ban dogs full stop.
Itās a horrible tragic accident. But ultimately it falls on the people who failed to control the dog, whether that be the family or the friends who own the dog or whoever was there. If it was a new dog to the set up, you dont just let him roam free. If it was already there, any warning signs at all need to be addressed. Its horribly tragic though.
Small terriers are viscous little cunts only theyāre so small
calling to somebodys house with your dog is a bit odd too

can be viscous cunts, not always the case. plenty have lovely little calm dogs, and I know plenty on here have small terrier type dogs too.
but yeah, Iām not a fan of them either to be honest, but I wouldnt consider them on the list of dangerous breeds that need banning

No but when you cross them with something bigger thats where it gets borderline. Itās only their size makes them harmless
A rottweiler would tear you to pieces but theyād generally be very protective and calm for example
Itās being reported this morning that (a) the dog was in fact a labrador-terrier cross and (b) he was owned by the family.
Any breed of dog can be savage id a gorgeous seemingly easy going westie for 16 yrs plus and 99 pc of time a dote but he snapped at my then smallie through jealousy, can never be sure

Think I read before that labradors account for.more.recorded dog attacks than any other breed.
That could be entirely fiction but vaguely recall being surprised hearing it as, what with guide dogs and face to soft bog roll, theyāre not really viewed that way.

Mind me asking, what happened after heād snapped.at your young fella?
I flaked him with a newspaper on the nose, put food down and trained him to not do it again through perseverance by putting my own and kiddies hand into to his bowl, took an age but got there, didnāt trust him completely until my kid got older and the westie understood that the smallie was his master also

My late bud had a pair of labs savages, Iād a black lab for years pure slob
Youāre right - Labs have more recorded bites causing injury - Iād say little cunt terriers bite more often but donāt get recorded. Little cunt terriers also attack other dogs way more often but itās just passed overā¦
crossing anything with a terrier is bad news
On the labs, yeah, that struck me as odd too as any lab iāve ever met has been very well behavedā¦ my only guess is people drop their guard and allow kids to pull and tear out of them continuously, until well, the dog uses the only arsenal it has.
No matter how good natured it is. Itās still a dog. Some people put human values on them. Itās ridiculous
