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.

It may seem like no reason to us, but the dog had some reason.

It could be something as easily overlooked as suddenly diverting your attention and energy from the dog to the new child. Dog doesn't understand, so the child becomes competition.

Huskies are smart. They certainly could understand that a new “pack member” is creating problems for them.

Huskies are also named in a list of dogs biting, harming, or even causing death. They’re down the list a ways below dogs like Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, and even chihuahuas (but those little dogs are often very poorly socialized and not trained).

Like 95% of these "studies" the results are completely useless.

Exactly like studies dealing with everything else, unless it is normalized "per 1000" etc. Comparing extremely popular dog breeds to rare ones needs to take that into account...

Kinda surprised Australian cattle dogs weren't in the list. Mine is great with our 5mo but we wouldn't leave him alone with her and we always pay close attention when she gets close to him. He ignores stuff she does that would cause him to warn us off.

Probably because the breed is comparatively rare. This study is useless.

Australian cattle dogs are temperamental but also a somewhat rare breed ive got two and while I trust one with my life and the other to mind her own business im still iffy about the one who would try to save me. Mainly cause hes completely neurotic love the boy though.
