While Ezra was taking a nap in his crib, the family’s Husky that they owned for eight years attacked out of nowhere.

“And to just bring awareness that it could be any dog at any time. Completely unprovoked, no matter what the history is,” Chloe said.

    Nothing with free will that isn’t another human is a potential danger to a baby. There are obviously tons of pets that don’t and having watched a lot of animals be interact with children under extremely strict supervision and controlled conditions I do think most pets do understand what the baby is and wouldn’t hurt it you can never know how they will react. Huskies are really smart and temperamental from what i understand, it’s insane to leave one near a baby

      I have a husky, he’s a giant lovable teddy bear made of fluff who is a giant coward in front of any sort of adversity. It’s hard to imagine him hurting anything intentionally. He plays with my 2 cats and hasn’t intentionally harmed them in any way.

      But then, I’ve also seen him catch a squirrel and crush it’s skull right in front of me, just because.

      Dogs are still animals, and the bigger ones can still be dangerous even if they seem friendly and safe with the right conditions.
