  • Why would the breeder show the puppies with the dog parents near by? Animal instinct is to protect their babies. So sad!

    If only I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard “oh not MY dog. My dog wouldn’t do that!” and then that dog munches on somebody’s kid.
  • @lynncollver6067
    When you have a family visiting puppies , please don't have the parents or other older dogs there too . This didn't have to happen 😢
  • @XOXO-vd3bg
    Why would you have parents of these puppies in the area? Animals get so stressed…especially with their babies. So sad all the way around.
  • @nogames8982
    Thank you for donating his organs. That is the most selfless act that you could do. He will live on in the other children that he helps save.

    People always forget that it's an animal. And just like a human , it will always go back to it's primordial instincts.

    💔💔💔💔 never leave your children alone around dogs! Especially ones you aren’t comfortable around
  • This could have been avoided, on so many levels. Incompetency lead to this poor babies demise.
  • @theda850two
    Most people say "oh my dog won't hurt you",,,, And then it is too late, I have experienced it myself...
  • How can they let big dogs alone near his 3 year old.....this could it been prevented. Heartbreaking
  • @FallnAngel07
    I'm sorry, the breeders had the parents and the puppy in the same area? Wtf wow. My heart goes out to the family
  • @alyu1129
    Imagine the physical agony and terror that boy felt. unimaginable pain.
  • @ZefTillDeath8878
    Shame on the parents and the breeders. A 3-year-old should not have been left with an American Bulldog.
  • God Bless this beautiful little boy, his family, and all the recipients of his organs. 😢❤
  • @breezystl777
    Complete irresponsibility on the breeder's part. You don't have strangers who are not known to the dog parents around the puppies with their dog parents there. ALL animals have the instinct to protect their young. Rest in Peace to this sweet boy 😔

    I’m a dog owner I have a husky, and a 7 year old son I would never take my kid with me to purchase a dog!!! May he RIP
