2 week old baby girl - Killed by family dog..

[Dallas]

MESA, Arizona — A 2-week-old Arizona girl has died after being attacked by the family's dog in their home.

Mesa police detective Steve Berry says police were called Wednesday night by a woman who said her daughter had been bitten by a family dog, according to KTVK-TV.

Berry says officers found the infant in the living room with bite wounds on her head. The baby was pronounced dead at the scene.
Berry says the mother had placed her daughter in a low-lying bassinet or crib and discovered the attack when she returned a few moments later.
The parents' names weren't released. However, Berry says the father is a Mesa police officer who was at work at the time. The mother is an officer for the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community.

The dog, a chow, was quarantined.

Chows are terrible around children, so are rottweilers...

Pitbulls and chows are both bad.

My brother-in-law had a part Chow that was the greatest dog I have ever been around. Chuy was amazing. I still miss him.

Sad story.

Only dog I've ever been bit by.

Horrible. Absolutely horrible.

There is nothing I hate more than hearing tragedies happening to babies, pregnant moms, little kids, etc.

Yep. I can't stand Chow's. I dated a girl who had 2 Chows. Both of them were the meanest animals I have ever been around.

I was bitten in the face by my step-mother's Chow. It was my own inexperience that caused the problem (I leaned over to pet her and was coming down toward her face. The dog didn't know me, and I never knew that was a no-no.)

Luckily, I had the best plastic surgeon in Plano (at that time) stitch me up and you can only see the scar if you're looking for it or if I'm sunburned.

I would say it was the fact that your step-mother had a dangerous animal around a child that was the problem (assuming you mean you were a child at the time).

So sad. I have a Chow and hes a sweetie pie, except when he sees cats.

Oh no, I was 18 and I didn't live in the house with them. She and my father were getting married when I was there, so it was the first time I'd seen her or the dog.
