4 day old infant in Florida killed by family pet

I just read this story and was shocked - first at the stupidity of people who own dogs and secondly shocked and saddened for the family.  I can't begin to imagine their nightmare or how they will get through it.  My heart goes out to them.

There are two major things I really don't understand - first is people who leave children or pets in a locked car when it is hot outside and the second is people who leave children alone with the family pet.

When do we learn???  How many nightmares like this does it take for people to finally get the message.  DOGS ARE NOT PEOPLE.  It is our responsibility to keep all safe.  First of course, the children and second the pet we love.

I understand that the dog was immediately put down - I have to ask what did we gain by that??? What did we learn????  Now we will never have any answers - the number one eye witness is gone. 

It does not bode well for this country when we have people in charge of animal control who have no training or hands on experience working with animals.  They misjudge breeds, over react and jump the gun on a regular basis.  Who do we turn to - who do we trust???

When do we get it - THE PROBLEM IS PEOPLE WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER.
