Okay…why in the world do people leave infants and dogs unsupervised?????

This is so horrendous and awful. That poor little baby.

WAUKEGAN, Ill. — Police are still looking into what exactly happened in a Waukegan apartment early Sunday morning when a dachshund chewed off the genitals of a 4-month-old boy.

Fire and police personnel arrived at 1:30 a.m. to the home on the city’s far southwest side and encountered the infant — who was bleeding profusely — and took him from the scene in a helicopter to a hospital.

The father of the boy told police he was visiting his girlfriend with his son when the infant fell asleep on a couch. The girlfriend had placed blankets around the child and the two went into another room to sleep.

    This is the worst dogbite story I have ever heard. That poor child- someone should have protected him from that beast. I hate dogs I think all pits and any other aggressive dogs should be put to sleep! When I was pregnant with my daughter I was a severly attacked by a pitbull on my leg, belly and arm.Thank God nothing happened to my baby girl! I have scars and nerve damage but I’m thankful to be alive because I thought that Dog was going to kill me- But my worst fear as a pregnant mom was for my unborn child.But the worst scars are the mental ones. I cant even go into someones house who owns a dog- I refuse to put me or my children in a potentially dangerous situation! I want to buy a gun or any weapon to protect us while we are out walking- we live in a big city and there are a lot of strays most of which are pits
