I don't know for sure, but I bet that the grandparents of this little baby probably thought their Rottie was a good dog, and safe to be in the same room with their grandchild. The mom did nothing wrong. She's holding the baby, for crying out loud. And the dog just "out of the blue" goes for the baby and kills it.

Unless this "attack without provocation" mentality can be bred out of them, there is no way that any one can say their own Rottie "would never do such a thing." And knowing that this breed does have it in them to attack without provocation, is is really responsible of anyone to own this breed unless you live well away from anyone who could be harmed or killed should your dog suddenly veer from the "normal" and attack an innocent bystander?
