    8-Month-Old Boy Mauled to Death by Family Dog in New York

    NEW YORK — A Doberman pinscher mauled and killed his owners' 8-month-old boy on Thursday at their home in New York, police said.

    The boy, Andrew Stein, was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead about an hour later, police said.

    No one had been charged in the boy's death as of Thursday evening. The dog was tranquilized and taken to an animal care center.

    Police said they were investigating and it was too early to determine what would happen to the dog.

    Neighbors said the dog was docile and friendly and would allow them to pet it.

    A telephone message left at a number listed at the family's address was not immediately returned.

    @JENGOSMonkey I WAS THERE FOR '89! I was a kid, but I remember the water coming out of the swimming pool in huge waves and everything falling from the shelves! I was actually born in San Jose, but moved around a lot later LOL I hear the wildfires are more of a concern for you guys now? That's scarier than quakes for me...

    I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.
