I wonder about having pit bulls!!!

[Shawnee123]

I am the biggest animal lover on earth. I hate to think that this happened but the crux of the issue, to me, is the parents not hearing the child. Toe-chewing off would take some time:

Local 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.

This is where I get confused.

There is also some speculation that the resident ferret might have had a hand, er, uh...tooth in this:

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."

It is all still up for speculation, but I can't get over the fact that it took so long to realize their baby was being chewed on. I am jumping to a conclusion when I consider that they may have been sedated in some way. I am probably even stereotyping when I read of the couple asleep on a mattress in their living room with the baby sleeping in a car seat next to them...a 6-week old puppy (they didn't think the baby would take up enough of their time?) and a ferret who may or may not have been running around the place free.

It just adds up to skepticism on my part.

At any rate, I do hope the baby is OK; she is now listed in stable condition.
