Family dog kills one-year-old boy

A one-year-old boy has died after being attacked by a dog at a relative's home, police have said.

West Yorkshire Police said the boy was in the yard of the home in Wakefield on Friday afternoon when he was attacked by the pet rottweiler.

He was taken to hospital with serious injuries but later died.

The dog was destroyed in order to ensure the safety of others at the address, a police spokesman said. The incident is being investigated.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said they were alerted by the ambulance service at 1530 GMT.

He added that the boy's family was being supported by specially-trained officers.

Of course we don't know the full facts - but I wonder if the dog was left alone with the child, if so WHY? And I wonder if this dog was brought up properly. And I wonder if the owners were suited to owning such a breed. And I wonder if the breeder even bothered check what type of home their pup was going into or what kind of life it might have in front of it.
