Infant Neutered by Dog While Father Slept With Girlfriend
A father more interested in “sleeping” with his girlfriend than his 4-month-old infant has just booked a lifelong guilt trip with no exits.
A Waukegan, Illinois man went to his girlfriend’s apartment but forgot about babysitting his young boy. While he proceeded to the bedroom, his girlfriend propped the baby up on the couch with blankets. After the adults went into the bedroom, the girl’s dachshund apparently smelled urine on the sleeping baby and went nosing around.
Baby Was Sleeping When Attacked
Minutes later, the couple heard the baby screaming. When they reached the couch, the baby was hysterical and bleeding profusely.
The dog had pulled off the baby’s diaper, chewed off and ingested his genitalia. A veterinarian induced vomiting on the dog but the tissue had been destroyed making reattachment futile.
The boy was taken to a hospital emergency room by helicopter and is in stable condition. The Waukegan Police Criminal Investigations Division and the Lake County States Attorney’s Office are investigating. The Illinois Department of Child and Family Services has been notified. No charges yet have been filed.
