Infant slaughtered by family dog(Photo)

An American Staffie-Great Dane blend puppy bit an infant to death in San Diego, police have affirmed.

The three-day-old kid was sleeping with his guardians who were sitting in front of the TV when the mother hacked and startled the two-year-old canine called Polo. It responded by gnawing the youngster, said Sergeant Tu Nguyen of the San Diego police kid misuse unit.

"The mother hacked out of the blue and it startled the canine, which bit the infant, bringing about traumatic damage," The folks could isolate the pooch from the child and they surged him to the doctor's facility yet they were not ready to spare him," he said.

The pooch was taken into guardianship by San Diego County Animal Services, authorities said. Any pooch that chomps a man is set in isolate by creature control, said Dan DeSousa, delegate executive of the office.

DeSousa said the family can guide creature control to euthanise the pooch or they can assert the puppy toward the end of a 10-day isolate, however so far the office has not got any guidelines. On the off chance that the family don't recover Polo, he will be put down.
