Labrador retrievers are not known for this type of violence. But police say a family’s “gentle” lab tore the legs off of a 2-month-old infant as his father slept soundly in the next room.

From the NY Daily News:

A supposedly “gentle” pooch named Lucky is suspected of killing a 2-month-old baby and tearing the child’s body apart in South Carolina.

Aiden McGrew, who was born on Valentine’s Day and was the youngest of three children, was found dead in his family’s mobile home Friday in Ridgeville by his mother, according to The Post and Courier newspaper.

The baby was in a swing when Lucky, a golden retriever-Labrador mix, bit the child several times and tore off his legs, authorities said.

The child’s father, Quintin, was in the home at the time, police said. He was in another room asleep with the family’s 3-year-old and their other dog.

The baby was discovered when his mother, Chantel, came home after taking their seven-year-old to a doctor’s appointment, The Post and Courier reported.
