Tags : Alexander James Smith, dog steals baby
In another display of the sheer, horrific, mindless stupidity of some people, a wolf/husky pet dog took a 4 day old infant out of his crib, dragged the child some 200 yards away and nearly killed him while the parents weren’t looking.
4 day old Alexander James Smith suffered a fractured skull, several broken ribs, collapsed lungs and lacerations. Doctors were able to save the child’s life but barely – they had to use a defribulator on him to jump-start his little heart during surgery.
The child’s mother, Chrissy Smith, put the child in his crib for a nap and left the room. Sometime after that, the dog, a mixed breed wolf/husky, came into the room and took the child out of the crib and dragged him outside. Later when the mother returned to check on the baby, he was nowhere to be found! She frantically searched for little Alexander and noticed the dog was gone as well.
It wasn’t until after about 10 minutes of searching that the baby’s dad saw the dog in a neighboring yard about 200 yards away playing with something in the tall grass that they discovered what had happened to the baby.
Doctors expect little Alexander to live, but he will undoubtedly have injuries that could have an adverse effect on him for life.
Let this be a reminder to all parents: Never, ever, have pets of any kind around a small baby unless they’re closely supervised.
We hope little Alexander comes out of this tragedy stronger than ever.

Can't really expect better from the inquisitr.

Mainly it's the owners. The inquisitr I'm sure didn't up and say it's a WD unless it's owners said something about it first =____= His owners are idiots

I won't be so sure. Wolfdog drags off baby is more sensational.

OK, who is the genius that determined this was a WOLF-dog? Some idiot decided to use the term "wolf" because it makes a better story? That looks like a husky/ German Shepherd mix. First of all wolves or any wolf/ dog mix with significant wolf content does not have blue eyes. The shape of the skull is that of a dog, NOT a "wolf-dog". The chest and bone structure is that of a DOG. There is NO SIGNIFICANT WOLF in that animal, so why is it labeled a "wolf-dog"?

David the picture show was not of the dog in question, rights were not secured for that picture, although I agree a better representation could have been used when the story was posted in 2009.

Dave, we did confirm the dog was not a Wolf dog and the father agreed. It was once again the media looking for sensationalism. The actual dog was a GSD / Husky mix sold as a NAID. It was also not an aggressive gesture on the Dog's part, which was also mis represented by media. The baby's father was trying hard to save the dog from being PTS due to media irresponsibility. Media today is nothing but show biz.

My mother in law has a 'wolfdog' (1/2 wolf, 1/2 domestic breed) with blue-ish eyes…The dog in this story IS a confirmed wolf/husky hybrid: http://www.kentucky.com/2009/07/23/870854/baby-critical-dog-might-not-be.html AND google the story on Associated Press and NY Daily News before you post without info
