Baby toes.

[Bankai15]

A six month old infant had its toes chewed off by a baby pit bull, while the parents slept beside the baby. The parents have been jailed but I think they should be lined up and shot.
What do you think?:mad:

well if the parents were asleep then not much they could do, was the baby like in its 'bed' when it happend, but not much they could have done if they were asleep, althrough that a sad thing to have happend

[Bankai15]

The parents had been sleeping on a mattress right next to the baby.

well they obviously didnt hear it or they wouldve stopped the pitbull. thats so stupid that you would even think that they purposly let the baby be ripped open. trust me it wouldnt take long for a pitbull to bite off babies toes.

The parents were stupid for buying a pitbull. They're incredibly unpredictable, especially around kids.

Louisiana Police: Pit Bull Puppy Chewed Off Baby's Toes While Parents Slept
Tuesday, December 12, 2006

E-MAIL STORY PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
BOSSIER CITY, La. — A pit bull puppy chewed off four of a baby girl's toes while the child's parents slept, police here said Monday. The parents were booked on charges of child desertion and criminal negligence and were being held in the Bossier Parish Jail pending an initial court appearance.

Police said the parents were sleeping on a mattress in the living room of their residence and the month-old girl was in an infant seat beside them when the puppy began chewing on their baby's toes.

Mary Shannon Hansche, 22, and Christopher Wayne Hansche, 26, told police they woke up to the sound of the baby crying, found her mangled foot and took her to the hospital about 8:30 a.m. Sunday.

"They did not see the dog injuring the child," police spokesman Mark Natale said.

The girl underwent surgery Sunday at Sutton's Children's Hospital in Shreveport. There was no way to reattach the child's toes, Natale said Monday.

The puppy was 6 weeks old and had no record of receiving its shots and will be quarantined for 10 days to check for rabies. Natale said he did not know what the puppy's fate would be after that.

"The puppy itself was just several weeks old! I mean this was essentially a puppy," Natale said.


"This puppy might have been trying to nurse on the toes of this baby," veterinarian Michael Dale speculated. "I know that sounds a little far fetched, but that's the first thing that comes to my mind."

Teresa Miller, who sold the puppy to the Hansches, was skeptical the dog did it. "He didn't chew on anything while he was with me. Out of all of them (in the litter), he was the least chewy."

Another veterinarian, Dr. Valri Brown, said if the puppy chewed off the infant's toes, it would not have happened quickly. "It would have to be a period of time — maybe at least an hour," she said.

Meanwhile, the puppy's been quarantined at Bossier City's animal control office for the next 10 days to check for rabies. Natale said he did not know what the puppy's fate would be after that.

When she is released from the hospital, the child will be placed in a foster home until the case against her parents is settled, officials said.

The parents were stupid for buying a pitbull. They're incredibly unpredictable, especially around kids.No they are great dogs. They have to be taught to be mean, otherwise they are very gentle.

Isn't it your state that wants to put them all to sleep?




Anyways yeah thats pretty sick. Poor little guy :(
I hope they don't put the dog to sleep also.

[Bankai15]

I've never had one but I have heard that they have atacked people before.

[serial-thrilla]

well lots of different dogs have attacked people before. this one was a puppy also, i think the puppy was just teething but decided to knaw on something that he shouldnt have.

[Dante]

but i'm still confused about how the dog scewed on the baby's toes and the abbay didnt cry immediatly and alert the parents

[mRojas2000]

That was really stupid... if you are gonna have a baby at least give your PITBULL to someone else... those dogs are really dangerous

[Bankai15]

Dogs or not, what about the girl not having toes when she grows up. She most likely can play very many sports and she could be made fun of for the rest of her life. :(
