Pit bull puppy chews off baby's toes!

Infestation is a far cry from "A Rat." 
A mouse can enter your home through a hole that a pencil would fit through, and a rat only requires a hole about 1 1/2- 2 inches to gain entry to your domicile.
If they really believe that it was the pup, they should have purged the pups stomach to check the contents and should be screening the pups feces for proof. Unfortunately, this probably did not/will not happen. In another article about the same, they mention that they also own a ferret, but that it was in a cage and impossible for it to get out.
I keep a clean home yet still have a problem with mice. Why? Because it is being renovated and it will take time to fix/close all the entry points. It is certainly not an off the wall thought that a rat could have done this, living conditions aside.
No matter what animal (or human) did this to the infant, it is the parents responsibility to keep that child safe. Which they have failed miserably at. I just hope that they don't kill this pup due to human failings.

Regardless of what/who chewed off the baby's toes, the parents were absolutely 100% responsible for what happened.
We were just learning in developmental psych how babies have different cries, and that mothers learn to recognize them pretty friggin quickly...most people already know the difference...the 'pain' cry is very distinct and hard to ignore...
this makes me sick that an innocent (whether or not he did it, he is still innocent) 6 WEEK puppy might be held responsible...and the fact that it just happened to be a pit makes it that much worse. One more tally mark against them...

I think we all agree it doesnt matter on what breed the puppy was. Someone even posted a simular case that involved a Jack Russell puppy
I really wish sterilization was an option for the parents. If I were to guess I would guess that they left the baby alone completly where they lived and went somewhere else then came back to this but dont want to admit it. There is NO way that you cant hear a baby cry in this situation.
Hopfully both babies will find new, loving homes with people who are smart enough to take care of them.
I also wonder why a 6 week old puppy was sent to it's new home and I agree it doesnt sound like the best enviroment. Why get a puppy if you are struggling so much? And who would sell a puppy to someone who doesnt even have a bed?? Honestly I hope the breeder gets shut down. You arent supposed to be able to commercially sell puppies until they are 8 weeks I believe. I know you cant ship them before that.
I was telling one of my friends about this last night and she said the puppy was probably starving and that is why it was trying to nurse.

oh god... where do you start.
i just wanna say that i don't think the dog should be PTS. i don't blame the dog in the slightest. a puppy can't know that and it obvisouly wasn't a vicous attack.
just another point. a puppy... how could it chew on a babies toes for over an hour while the baby is screaming and the PUPPY! doesn't get put off or soemthing... gosh wouldnt a pup be taking more interest in the screaming then the toes?

It has nothing to do with the BREED. Jeez, just because it's a Pit Bull doesn't mean Pit Bull people have to immediately jump all over and scream about how it's not the breed's fault. Preaching to the choir here, I think.
It's a PUPPY. It could've been a Lab or a Mastiff or a GSD or a Schnauzer. Poor thing was probably starving and mistreated, and at 6 weeks old it didn't know any better. I feel sorry for the innocent ones involved.
