Only four days old, young Alexander James Smith was swiped from his crib by a mixed husky and wolf bred dog. Smith suffered a skull facture, broken ribs and a collapsed lungs. I can’t even imagine how the dog was able to get him out of the crib without breaking the actual structure itself.
Doctors say Smith is likely to survive, but noted that they did have to use resuscitation paddles to restart his heart.
Alexander’s mom, Chrissy couldn’t believe her son wasn’t in the crib when she returned to his room. As she frantically looked around the house she noticed their dog missing as well. After ten minutes, Alexander’s dad was able to spot the dog in the grassy field 200 yards away from their house.

It's the parents fault. The dog should not be left alone wth a new born baby!!!!!!

The dog wasn't left alone with the baby. The parents had put both ogs outside on returning from the hospital with the baby. One of the highly intelligent canines stood on the back door, lowering the handle while the other squeezed through the door. The parents were already making arrangements for the dogs to be addopted. Instead of everyone sending their negative energy towards the parents and what "could've" happened, everyone should focus their possitive energy towards thoughts and prayers for the baby!!

Bad reporting showing an unknown (definitely older) baby and a dog that is not a mixed breed! Would have been better without a picture, or at least a note saying this was NOT the baby and dog!

No helpless infant should be sectioned off into a crib off in another room. There is no automated methods for child care. Almost no animal in the kingdom will just up and leave their unprotected offspring unsupervised. Humans are far more ignorant, irresponsible, and selfish than animals. Now the blame game begins, why not sue the crib maker for not being canine proof. Maybe new laws and regulations should be proposed.
