Oh my god I'm not a real pet lover but even if I was I would never let a dog like that get that close to a baby

[redman41]

I would like to add however that the dog or the baby are not mine !!

I am a pet lover and I am a dog owner and I would advise that dogs should never be trusted with a baby.
A baby smells different to what the dog knows as a human and it also makes animal like noises, the dog's reations to a baby can never be reliably predicted.
Use common sense and never ever leave a baby and a dog together unsupervised. That is how tragedies happen.

I am an animal lover, but even i'd be wary here.

I had to re-home my previous dog after my then 2 year old jolted him awake and he bit her.

As lovely as a dog is, it's still just that- a dog, and if they get startled or accidently hurt (ears pulled etc) they can react in the worst possible way.

so anyone enjoyed the photos so far?

I wouldn't like to go there and try to take the baby off him LOL. Hope the Parents can !!

What kind of parent takes a pic of dog smothering a baby?

[Totterdown]

It's a bit like saying "My child can do no wrong", thinking that their wonderful pet can do no wrong. You never know. If the child suddenly squealed or lashed out with a hand or threw something at the dog, then the dog would defend itself and might go for the child. This seems to be a potentially dangerous game.
