Dad admits owning dog that savagely mauled his 12-day-old son to deathStephen Joynes, 36, admitted to owning the dog which savagely mauled his own 12-day-old son to death and waved at cameras on his way into court Sad! I know accidents happen this is tragic but with dogs you can never leave them with little kids like that especially chows I've had my stepchildren attacked by a Chow they're a dog that I'm not really happy with and I don't trust them I love all dogs I really do caution is a must Another inadequate in a nation of inadequates, who think owning a dog is some sort of status symbol. Personally I would ship the lot of them off to South Korea, where they would be put to good use.
