Ok, these people have a WOLF Collie mix, the dog is part wolf. No matter how trained the dog might be, or how loving, it is still part wolf. It is his/her natural instinct to take the baby and carry it by the neck, that's what they do. I hope they don't have it put down. Maybe they should consider having a small toy dog in the home instead if they are going to have babies around.

why ws the dog in the house with a newborn- the dog was acting on instinct- depending on the sex of the dog as to what it was going to do with the baby- -- you must protect small chidren from animals because they are seen as a threat and will kill when given the opportunty. i have great sympathy for the parents-yet i feel that they endangered the baby through their ignorance and false assumption that the animal could somehow overcome their basic instincts. animal owners should make a point of observing the animals interaction with newborns and toddlers.

Not the dogs fault at all, dogs do what dogs do!

This isn't a dog. It's a wolf hyrbid. Wolves are not domesticated animals, mixing them with a dog does not make them a domesticated animal....period. These parents are at fault for putting the newborn at risk. Wolf hybrids should be illegal and are in many states. People are irresponsible and uneducated enough with "normal" domesticated dogs, no way should we be combining the two species to live in our homes. Shame on them.

I dont think there storie is ture i think some beat the baby and it trying to put the blame on the dog. the baby could of been crying and the parent did not know how to handle it and hurt that baby.

Re:Lauren, then why was the baby found with multiple puncture wounds. You need to read the whole story...not just the updates..

Should be titled - Proof Morons breed and have babies !
Dog acts with instinct. Hopefully new born AJ will over come the unintentional harm from dog and will be "Smarter then his parents" !!!
Hopefully... an person with a right mind will adopt the dog into a good proper home.
We can only Hope the best for AJ too !

these news sites should not even allow ppl like u to leave comments/accusations. its sick, not to mention twisted that u would even do that to this family. arent they going through enough as it is? for their sake i hope that they never read this! they dont need this, horrible things happen and assinging blame isnt gonna help anything. the parent who called 911 woried about his son is not something an abusive parent would have done. mind ur own buisness and let the familly heal and try to move on from this horrifying nightmare instead of rubbing it their face.

I saw the father on TV this morning....and I was horrified that he was upset that he couldn't keep the dog...HELLO it took the baby out of the crib and regardless of wether or not the dog was thinking it was a puppy, the baby could have gotten KILLED. Are you parents stupid? Who would you be crying for then??? I have pets too but my CHILD is MOST IMPORTANT!

why was the baby home alone?!

why was the baby home alone!?

I think the parents should have been more careful with this dog. The dog however should not be put down and an adequate home should be found for him. If it could I would take the dog myself but I have a child and four cats.

i have a hybrid wolf, and his awesome. he was very defensive with male strangers, which were my dates. protective of his pups was his main instinct. i taught him that its ok to get to know strangers if we say its ok...now imagine a female hybrid who's main instinct is to provide and nurture, her owners need to teach her a bit more about what can and cant b done within their household...animals are that animals, they dont know right from wrong and definitly not know the difference from a newborn to a pup, she just wants to take care of a baby that she knows cannot fend for its self. its the most innocent form of love, shes a part of a family and wanted to protect them all. please help her not be distroyed she doesnt deserve that just because she was loving someone small and helpless

Even with domesticated dogs, you can't leave a baby alone with the dog inside. Animals have instincts, babies put off a particular smell. I've worked alot in East Africa and Southeast Asia. Dogs or pets of any kind were never allowed around a newborn. I am sorry for the family, but if you go for the mix-breed wild animal, you have to be aware of everything.

This story is sad for the parents, the dog, and, most of all, the baby. But it seems the dog's intention was to play mom to the baby and not harm him. How many times have we seen dogs in the news playing mom to kittens or other baby animals. I think this family is paying enough just in the pain they feel for their baby and what has happened. We all make mistakes we wish we could go back and change. Also, the dad worrying about the fate of the dog only shows what a compassionate and forgiving person he must be. I'm glad to hear the baby will survive, and I hope everything turns out for the best in the end. It was an unforunate accident.

An article from another news source reads, " Baby in critical care after (Native American Indian) dog takes him from crib, and carries to woods." How can they tell if the dog is Native American Indian?! Why would a professional writer add this weird idea in a headline of a horrible story?
I think the father sounds a little coockoo and should be checked out also. To much detail, and add-ons to their story.

What idiotic and irresponsible so called parent would leave a newborn baby home alone with or without a dog????...The parents should be put down not the dog!!!
what future has that baby got....a life in foster care!!

There is a wonderful compound in upstate New York for dogs that are half wolf. It’s called Spirit Dog. It is a great place for these types of dogs. The dogs themselves do very well. Most of the comments I have read about this story with regard to the dog were spot on about the breeding of the dog - good for you. These dogs [domestic/wolf mix] cannot unfortunately be brought into domestic situations...ever. They are indeed wolves. As cute and wonderful they may be with their owners, they can never be around other animals or small children. Perhaps the owners of this dog could find a rescue compound in their state that will take their dog. They will be happier , the dog will be happier not to mention the victims of these "dogs."

I agree. This is not the dogs fault. I work day in and day out in the animal control field as well as sitting/grooming and boarding. Animals and children must be supervised especially little ones. Poor Dakota heard the baby crying and tried to do what moms do. The baby has only been there a couple of days, probably had not been introduced to the baby and then the parent wonder why the dog takes off with her. Cite the parents for child endangerment, adopt Dakota to a more appropriate home and let it be a lesson to AJ's family for the future.

Why do people place more importance on an animal than a human life? I had dogs the whole time I grew up and I love most animals but my children are far more important than any animal. I think that people who put their animals before their children should be castrated and shot.

Just read the story and like most published stories I think they didnt discuss the background of the dog. How long had they had it, age of dog, and training. The dog looked to me like a piebald Siberian Husky or a cross . Most dogs that Indians around ND have are brown. Ive read the comments and even though Ive never delt with a newborn most who have told me that the first few days you are tired from getting used to your new family members schedule. If the dog the first few days behaved well around the baby and in the video it seemed a calm dog I can only surmise that the dog was taking it to what it thought of as a safer space outside away from all the noise and hubbub associate with having a newborn. Unfortunately babies arent made to be carried by dogs. My prayers are with the family an I pray the baby makes a full recovery. I hope the dog gets a home where its protective instincts are put to good use.

people should make this a positive learning
experince. dont ever,ever leave a newborn alone anywhere.dont leave it with a dog either.
thank god the baby is alive, the dog did what
his instinct told him.leave the dog alone-not the baby

WHERE WAS THE OTHER PARENT? DID I MISS SOMETHING? DEFINETELY NOT THE DOG'S FAULT!!! THE DOG WAS ACTING ON INSTINCTS TO PROTECT THE BABY, FROM BEING ALONE AND PROBABLY CRYING, AND ONLY ACTED ON INSTINCTS. I HOPE THE BABY FULLY RECOVERS AND THAT THIS INCIDENT NEVER, NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN.

The baby was not left home alone... read the story folks...
This is a prime example of why people should not keep wolf hybrids as pets. They are beautiful and majestic animals, but are not domesticated like normal, everyday dogs, and the definitely do not belong in a home with free access to newborn babies. This animal was not trying to harm the baby (it that was the intent, it could have killed the child in seconds) but was merely nesting with the baby, as it would with a puppy. This is natural wild dog/wolf behavior and it is actually a quite loving, protective gesture... unfortunately being carried about by a wolf hybrid is not something a newborn baby's body is built to withstand.
They are talking of euthanizing the wolf hybrid... it's always "punish the dog and forget that the human caused the incident". It's so sad that this much ignorance still abounds in regards to animals. It would a double tragedy for this dog to now be destroyed. Hopefully calm thinking will prevail and the dogs can be rehomed with someone who has enough intelligence and wolf hybrid experience to house them safely in the community.

WHERE WAS THE OTHER PARENT? DID I MISS SOMETHING? THE DOG WAS ACTING ON INSTINCT TO PROTECT THE CRYING BABY. NO ONE WAS THERE? I HOPE AND PRAY THE BABY MAKES IT THROUGH ALL OF THIS!!! i HOPE THEY INVESTIGATE FURTHER INTO THIS VERY SAD STORY.

Kill the dog!

Why is it when any terrible accident happens to a child there is always of group of you who will blame the parents, no matter what. Nothing in this story tells me that these people are not wonderful parents. Those of you who do have children, are your eyes on them EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY? Where in this article does it say this baby was HOME ALONE??? Maybe the dog was supposed to be outside and got in. This could also have been the most loving, gentle dog in the world and still this could have happened.
Have a little compassion people, don't be so quick to judge. This is a horrifying story and a terrible thing to happen to any family without having to deal with the criticism of their parenting skills.

If the dog was trying to harm the baby, he would be already dead!!! Dogs have strong protective instincts. Rome founders Romulo and Remo were protected by a female wolf in the woods. There are several histories of humans cared by wolfs. I hope the best for the baby, the parents and the dog!!! Tragedies happen!!!

it's not the dog's fault or the parnets you all seem their is someone to blame. The dog might have been hearing the baby cry and wanted to help it. When I was A baby we had a full blood big German shepard and let me tell you all he slept under my baby bed. And would not let anyone near me if ao in less my Mom or Dad said O. K. it;s was a word that she knew so I believe th do id not want to hert the baby. The best to your family.and God Bless.

I only agree in part on some of these stories and comments. I believe the dog intentionally took the baby in the wooded area to kill it. Not necesarilly because it is part wolf, but because the dog may feel it is being replaced. but I have mixed emotions about the dog being put down. If the dog is relocated with a new family with no kids, it might be ok. But if their is a baby in the new home, the dog may succeed next time.

do u ppl even think b4 u post stuff? im sure u are all "perfect" parents ... just bcuz the parents werent in their house u cannot assume that they left the baby home alone, im sure they werent any further than their own front yard, and its called baby monitors... but im sure some of u "more perfect,responsible parents" would never have the need for anything like that tho? since u would never get frustrated, and since u would never leave ur baby alone, i guess u would never have the urge to go to the washroom either huh?, and im sure that they are not the only ppl to ever be trusting of a dog or an animal, especially if u consider ur pet as part of the family! accidents like this one are unfortunate and painful enough without having stupid sites, "just like this one" allowing morrons like u adding to their stress and pain, and for what? cuz ur bored with ur own pathetic lives and have nothing better to do with ur damn time... u ppl thrive on other ppl's misfortunes, u literally sit and wait for something bad to happen just for the satisfaction of running ur mouths off! and not only did these ppl nearly had to bury their son, wonder what to do about thier dog, im almost certain that "child and family services" are involved, they're still at risk to lose their son, not to mention the impact that this will always have on their lives, but its okay, right? cuz u ppl r no longer bored!! u guys should leave them alone thy're sufferring enough i think that's punishement enough to last a lifetime for that family!!! i hope the family can get through this "as a family" and i hope that they dont let low lives like u guys get in thier way from moving on!!

that is just stupid that is why people hate wolf becouse of people like you.just becouse the dog whas part wolf that don,t mean that he took the baby becouse he whas part wolf. their whas a story in my country about a rotwhiler who eat a baby.so no mather what type a dog, the dog may be their is always a chance that the dog can go crazy on you. and itt is the parents fould becouse now normal parents would leave their new born baby home alone with a dog no mather what race the dog may be.

To all those who are mouthing off about hybrid dogs, you should have your heads read. I will lay 100-1 odds none of them are dog owners and if any of them are I pity their dogs. I have six Siberian Husky/Wolves and have been breeding them for more than ten years. I also have five children who grew up with those dogs and I know, these dogs would put their own lives in peril for my children. My one dog even took my nieghbours hand in its mouth and growled at him when he hit his own child on my lawn. Also the number one biting dog out there is the German Shepard, (NOT Pitt Bulls or Doby's or Rottweilers) as stated by an animal control officer where I live. As for these hybrids or wolves carrying their young in their mouths, well after ten years and never ever seeing this done by one of my bitches I question even this. None of us can know what the dog was thinking so everything else is mute. Millions of dogs in North America and this sort of thing has happened how often???

The female dog in question is a cross between a shepherd and a wolf--both highly intelligent, very protective, family-oriented breeds. The dog lived (so far as we know) in a single dog house. When a dog lives in a single dog home they can have major identity crises because they identify with humans rather than dogs. (We rescue dogs and always have a number of dogs at a time. The pack discipline and mentality really helps straighten out dogs that have problems from abuse, etc., because they are finally with some of their own kind and disciplined by the pack--it greatly improves their behavior. Of course, this requires a strong pack leader.) Not knowing the full details of the situation, I would hazard a guess that the dog determined the baby was in an unsafe situation and took possession of the baby as her cub/pup and was trying to remove it to a den where she could care for it and it would be safe. The injuries seem to have occurred when she was carrying it away. Granted, she should be removed from a household that has small children because of her overly protective nature, but she should not be destroyed because of her desire to protect "her" cub/pup.

I hate what happen to the baby and I hope that he will be okay but I feel sorry for the dog too because he was not intentionally trying to harm the baby if he was he could have killed the baby. I hope they do not put the dog down and if the parents do not want the dog then I hope someone will adopt him and give him a loving home. My mixed chow and spitz dog saved my babies life by grabbing her by her diaper and pulling her back from getting attacked by another dog and she fought that dog and hurt it but she was protecting my baby who she considered was hers as well. Family dogs no matter what the breed are protective of their owners if they are loved and taken care of so the dog did nothing wrong and you idiots that think the dog did are stupid and evidentally non animal lovers.

Instead of putting the dog down, why not put the parents down?
Bottom line:
STUPID PEOPLE SHOULD NOT REPRODUCE!!

I will give the dog a home! I hope thay don't put the dog down. I am sorry to here about the baby hope it and mom - dad are going to be alright. I live in Tennessee a goog place to raise a wolf dog. What idiotic would say things about the family in a moment like this? Keep your thought to yourself if you don't have anything good to say! Love and prayer to the family and the dog. Would you wan't someone to put you down for a natural instinct that ended in something like this? No Thay are god's creatures. NO ONE DESERVES TO BE KILLED. ANIMAL OR HUMAN.

I feel for the family but I have 2 agree with alot of the comments from others. I am a new mother of a 10 wk. old baby and I was raised with a German Shepard police dog, but I would never leave my son home alone even with my german shepard. My shepard would never hurt anyone or thing, but she is a dog. The parents might be in pain for their precious baby but they are 2 blame anyway you look at it. It really irritates me to know that they left the child home alone. My family is praying for the healthy recovery of AJ.and hopefully the dog will end up in a better home.

I honestly hope that you are not being too serious with your idiotic statements about how sites like this are sick and twisted... These parents were irresponsible and should have been watching their newborn like a hawk. To have left the baby alone unsupervised is horrible and these parents need to be seriously schooled in how to care for a child. So please- the next time you dis a website for beign sick and/or twisted think about the child that was injured and what irresponsibility causes!

This dog is not a collie wolf mix the breed is Native American Indian dog a recreation of the loyal work dog of the Native Americans, there great loyal kid loving dogs. This dog has no more wolf then a collie, these reporters can't get there story straight. In fact the story keeps changing which is very suspicious, I do hope they keep investigating. I am glad the baby is doing better the poor lil guy, I'm glad he will not be able to remember this. I also hope they do not put Dakota down, it's not her fault that nobody taught her better, not to mention its fishy nobody heard the baby cry or the dog jumping into or from the crib carrying baby down the stairs and out the door.

I am glad the baby is doing better the poor lil guy, I'm glad he will not be able to remember this. I also hope they do not put Dakota down, it's not her fault that nobody taught her better, not to mention its fishy nobody heard the baby cry or the dog jumping into or from the crib carrying baby down the stairs and out the door.

This should be a prime example of being aware of what pet works for you and your family. Animals need to be trained by their owners and the owners must show love and care in order for that animal to be productive. If this family took the time to understand and train their pet properly, this never would've happened. I'm so sorry and my prayers are with them but when you put in your mind "I didn't think this or that" is when everything hits the fan. All break loose when you don't take the time to think and by being new parents to a premmie they had other things on their mind of course. I pray for this family but I hope this is a lesson for people that want a certain or specific breed of animal but don't want to put in the time and energy to properly train them. From what I hear, they have more dogs, maybe Cesear Milan - The Dog Whisperer need to intervene somehow.

THIS IS NOT ( THAT DOG'S ) FAULT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT DOG SHOULD BE PLACED IN A GOOD HOME BECAUSE IF THAT DOG WANTED TO REALLY HARM THIS BABY HE HAD THE CHANCE TO DO SO BUT ( DID NOT ) I HOPE THIS BABY WILL BE FINE BUT I ALSO HOPE THIS POOR DOG WILL BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO BELONG TO SOMEONE THAT WILL NOT PUT HIM IN THAT POSITION AGAIN !!!!!!!! THIS DOG DESERVES A GOOD HOME BECAUSE HE IS A SMART AND KIND DOG !!!!!!! ( A DOG LOVER )
