(June 19, 2008)--A 5-month-old baby attacked by a rottweiler after he was left unattended on a sofa has been transferred to a Houston hospital with multiple injuries, Bryan police say.
The attack happened early Wednesday morning after the child's mother, a 26-year-old Waco woman, went upstairs to take a shower, during a visit to her father-in-law’s home in Bryan.
She returned to find the dog dragging her son around by his head.
It's unclear if anyone else was home at the time.
The baby was first taken to St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Bryan and then was transferred to Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, police said.
The infant’s condition wasn't immediately available.
Robert Thompson, the dog's owner and the infant's grandfather, voluntarily gave the dog up to Bryan Police Animal Control.
Authorities said the dog would be euthanized.
Bryan police Sgt. Walt Melnyk said Thompson lived at the residence but was not home when the attack happened.
Melnyk told The Associated Press no charges had been filed.

TAL in Killeen...I read the news here alot and have seen this same picture before also. Yes, it's clearly not a Rot that's why people are saying what they are. Maybe Trina needs a new pair of glasses. Oh, and her 2nd post was just plain sick.

The mother should be investigated and made to attend parenting classes as it is clear she has no clue about protecting her child. Babies can feel pain and they are helpless and completely dependent on the parents. What were you thinking?
