Is it just me, or does this not seem right?

So a baby was left naked and unattended with a dog. We are left to assume that this was not a strange dog, but still. Also, and not to be disgusting or anything, but I was under the impression that a dog does not form a tie, except with a female dog due to differing shapes of the private parts.
I would think that a perverted human male harmed the baby, and the dog is the cover up.

I can think of only two things to say--
First, What were the child's injuries? If they were actual bites and true attack wounds and what-not, then that's a different story. But if it was just the results of the sodomizing, then that dog can't be "Aggressive". He doesn't know what Rape means.
Second, sometimes when I have an intact foster at my house, they try to mount whatever (or whoever) is sitting on the ground. I can imagine a dog trying to do something like this to a crawling baby, but to actually finish the act like that? I don't see how that's even possible!

Wasn't going to touch this one, but thought this might help. Yes, this is a rare behavior on the part of a dog, but not completely unheard of with an intact male. ( An unneutered 1 yr old GSD left alone with a 3 yr old child in the living room of the parents home, comes to mind. A story here, several years ago) It does happen and it is not an aggressive act on the dogs part. They mount children all of the time. Most owners assume this is a playful or dominant gesture. The right circumstances, lack of adult supervision there to protect the child and determine what is "playful" and what is definitely not, a strong sexual drive on the dogs part and it's a tragedy in the making. People don't get it... never, never leave a baby or young child alone with a dog. This is so sad.
That is probably why the police took a DNA sample of the dog. I can not believe someone would be dense enough to leave a little child alone with a dog, much less naked! 
We don't need animal control/breed specific legislation laws, we need child endangerment/neglect laws to actually be enforced for once.

Really good article about this whole thing. It asks some good questions:
