Dog attack: 6-week-old Ezra Mansoor dies after Husky attacks sleeping newborn
A 6-week-old baby died in Tennessee on Thursday after the family dog attacked the newborn while he was asleep in his crib.
While Ezra was taking a nap in his crib, the family's Husky that they owned for eight years attacked out of nowhere.
"And to just bring awareness that it could be any dog at any time. Completely unprovoked, no matter what the history is," Chloe said.

“And to just bring awareness that it could be any dog at any time. Completely unprovoked, no matter what the history is,” Chloe said.
Reminds me of that Onion article that pops up every time there's a mass shooting in the US: "There's no possible way we could have prevented this, says only country where this routinely happens".
Dogs have co-existed with humans longer than just about any other domesticated animal. They don't do things for no reason. If the parents didn't see any signs, it's because they weren't looking hard enough.
Dogs can absolutely be dangerous. They're often bred and trained to be dangerous. They don't just spontaneously decide to be dangerous, especially after eight fucking years.
Even people sometimes just wake up day and snap for reasons beyond our control.
Now you’re generally right, most of these cases there’s some meaningful details missing and the “no history of attacks” is a lie.
We just can’t broadly apply that because we don’t know which one isn’t a lie.
Sometimes the thing that sets a dog off is just that they're older and confused. Dogs do sometimes just snap with no warnings, same as humans.
Yes they do. Any dog can have a trigger you simply have not seen yet. I literally had my rescue dog bite me after 7ish years because I startled him once. Absolutely zero signs of aggression prior to that. Every dog has a line and it is impossible to know what that like is or if it has changed.
I think this is actually a more dangerous mindset. Any animal can be unpredictable, can do something you've never seen them do before. Maybe there were signs, but maybe there weren't. Either way, it's dangerous to wait for a "sign" before you start to set boundaries on how your pet interacts with any person.
This one did.
Animals follow their instincts. If something sets them off, they are set off.
Dogs don't attack for no reason
This one did
Because it was following it's instincts
Mfw
Do you not understand?
I don't. Instincts are a reason. If it was following its instincts, it didn't attack for no reason.
So it's more like a semantics(what words mean) thing tripping you up.
Got it.
If you stand on your head, then pyramids look like ice cream cones.
Totally.
"there was no reason, but here's the reason" isn't semantics. It's just you contradicting yourself one sentence later.
Yes, semantics, I get it.
You need things strictly defined for you but aren't willing to provide parameters or ask questions.
You built a sand castle and then knocked it down all by yourself.
Very impressive.
Saying two conflicting things in the same statement isn't semantics. It's evidence that the author is a putz.
Whether two statements conflict with one another is a function of what those statements mean which is also called “semantics”.
Oh, so you're interpreting certain words to mean something different than their intention?
Like your choosing to define a word differently than someone else?
Isn't there a...word...for that....
Oh, semantics, got it, good thing you connected the dots there.
