Poor Leah, I remember when she went missing. At least the family has answers but the prick had to kill himself.
This was all so awful. I’m relieved for the family that she was found, but they had to wait for so, so long.
Having read that, a
bag of limbs - I didn’t know that detail before

It's bloody awful. Regardless of how you feel about your own dog they are an animal. I don't even allow my dog and cats to interact without supervision and without an escape for the cats just in case.
I adore my dog and am 99% certain he wouldn't do anything ever but all it takes is one trigger and he could flip completely.
People do not take dogs seriously. Thr amount of times a toddler has come up to stroke my dog whilst I've been out walking him and the parents just laugh and giggle like it is nothing.
It makes me so angry.
I have a spaniel who is amazing with my children (16 and 5) - the youngest she absolutely adores, has never ever shown a hint of aggression, but children are loud, excitable, unpredictable, so they aren’t left alone.
My teenager is obviously very sensible and I’ve taught my 5 year old since the very beginning that you never, ever approach a dog you don’t know without asking the owner first (and with me there!) and then you let it sniff your hand, if it doesn’t want to interact then you leave it.
A dog who has had a baby join the household will be trying to adjust constantly to new noises, movements, touch. It’s heartbreaking to think your beloved pet could ever hurt anyone but like you say it just takes one thing.
