Pet dog kills 5-week-old infant

JACKSONVILLE, Florida (AP) -- A 5-week-old baby left alone by his grandmother died after being mauled by the family dog.

Jose Diaz was on a bed Tuesday when the dog jumped up and attacked him. Police believe a 7-year-old mutt hurt the boy, though officers also found two other dogs in the house.

The baby had bites on his face and head when his parents, both 19, brought him to a fire station after the attack. He was taken by helicopter to Shands Jacksonville hospital, where he later died.

Sun Woodjinski, 49, was supposed to be baby-sitting the boy. The baby's mother, Jennifer Woodjinski, was working at a nearby Taco Bell and his father, Albert Diaz, did yardwork.

Babies and small children should never be left alone with any animals that can bite, or scratch, I don't care HOW well behaved an animal is or a child is, both are unpredictable. Being that the child was so young, I can't imagine that it provoked the animal in any way, but animals do get jealous of new babies and don't look at them as tiny humans, but rather another small animal.

It is heartbreaking. Just heartbreaking.

That is so sad. :( I agree, babies/small children should never ever be left alone with animals.

Don't blame the dog, blame the parents.

Don't blame the dog, blame the parents.

In this case, the grandmother.
