Dog bites my baby?
Oh hell no.

That kind of dog needs to go to a home with no children or be put down.

I’d have to rehome the dog. That’s not an okay environment for a baby and wherever the dog went, they need to know that he is aggressive with children!

My husband grabbed the dog by the neck and threw it out the door, then we had this long talk about what would we do if it does it again. He said he is going to shoot it. So i warned his brother and the brother told me to f off, and thier dad told me to shut up. I just told them i am warning you. So keep the dog in its cage or behind the gate. Then it caused a huge fight against his family towards me. I am livid, that they are sticking up for this dog and not my child that got bitten in the face.

Don’t let baby go near strange dogs.
Edit: Just saw your update. Apparently it was not a strange dog. Whose dog is this? Yours? Husband’s family? I think if it is your dog, it needs to be rehomed with no children. If it your husband’s family’s dog, tell them you will not go to visit unless the dog is restrained.

Depends if it was a stray, if the baby had reason to touch the dog etc. A baby getting bit is HORRIBLE but sometimes the parents need to teach the baby caution and not to touch dogs without the owners permission. Some dogs just are not kid dogs.
Finding the owners and contacting the police of course but I wouldn’t look to have the dog put down if it was the parents fault for the bite.
But of course, again, a baby getting bit is tragic, I wish parents taught their kids better and owners kept their dogs detained better.
ETA: 5 kids? The dog obviously needs to be taken away from children and it could be taken to court against the owner. He knows the dog is aggressive toward children and is responsible for keeping the dog away from the children while they are in his presence

See, you can see that this is an issue that the dog needs some different home and training and if all fails then needs to be put down. I can see that totally. Plus the dog is two years old and poos all over the floor and peed right on my bed.

Natural reaction? I would have punched it right in its face. Do you live with the dog and its owner? If its your husband’s brother and not your house, I would be moving out.

I dont own dogs, too much work for me. I have cats. This is my brother in laws dog he gave it to his son thats going threw a devorse situation so he has a friend to cuddle. Plus the dog was given up from a previous owner that had three children and one on the way. I am assuming the dog bit the kids and didnt train where to go to the washroom. I caused a huge fight with my inlaw i am in so much embarrassment that i dont want to face them. I cared for my sons safety and i raised my voice and no one had interest in listening to me. Which caused a lot of hurtful things for them to say to me. My brother in law told me to f off and their dad started to say i ruined his anniversary and i am not in thier Will anymore. Got my mother inlaw crying in the bathroom and my sister inlaw just sat and watched when it was five of her kids that got bitten as well. But didnt want to mention it. I am afraid to say I am not coming over if that dog is going to be around. Cause it feels like i am bringing up a touchy subject again, they were saying i was making a big deal over nothing. My husband was on my side, and got in a huge fight with his family. I am embarassed. ug

My dog bit my sons face because my son startled him while he was sleeping (not an excuse). We contemplated sending him to an appropriate rescue, but decided to rehab him instead, since we hadn’t seen any previous displays of aggression. We had a certified behaviorist come in and evaluate him, we continue with training classes, we continue to be vigilant. I NEVER leave my son and dog alone. Ever. It’s hard, and sometimes it’s a pain in the ass, but this is what we are doing.
If the dog had a previous bite history and this happened, it wouldn’t even b a question, he’d be going to a rescue. If our dog does it again, he has to go.
