"Baby dies after Rottweiler attack"

I'm sure you all know about this, as someone who loves kids, I find it rather upsetting. It's a parents nightmare for something like this to happen especially so young as 6 months. I don't know what happened, I mean like my girlfriend said, "wasn't anyone there to prevent this?". Perhaps the parents were careless, I'm sure they knew they were vicious rottweilers.

I knew a dog a friend had, it was the most placid dog you'd ever meet (westie), soft as hell, wouldn't hurt a fly ... but whenever it had a bone, it would go for anyone that went near it. They tried for years to stop it doing it, took the dog to training schools etc, but it never fully got out of the nasty habit.

Bit me on the nose ... I thought if I was nice enough to it ... ha ... nah

Yeah i am!!!!

You're entitled to your own opinion of course.

Doesnt matter about what im comparing it to. A dog can turn end of story!

Once again you're comparing a dog to a person when in reality they're leagues apart in terms of conscious thought and intelligence.

Bullett a dog like any other animal, like any other person can turn at any time, no matter how there trained or brought up.

Doesnt matter, no one is going to sit here and convince me that a fully trained dog wouldnt turn against someone. Not all dogs are going to need a reason to do anything.

I dont believe for one minute any dog would be fully 100% trained not to lash out...

Exactly.

I never used that term.
