Will people never learn?
How awful….. my thoughts are with the little boy and his family 🙁
Well the parents should be investigated! And was it definitely a staffordshire bull terrier! I love how its only the staffy attacks end up in the news!!
All dogs are a pack animal by nature. Possibly this dog has seen the youngster as a threat to its own standing in the household.
Agreed,
This dog has obviously not been shown its place in the pack.
Poor dog, poor baby, stupid owners.
