The 2-year-old is recovering at Women and Children’s Hospital of Buffalo after police say he was attacked and sexually assaulted by his family’s pit bull.

Police said the toddler was in his home on Washburn Street about 2 p.m. Sunday when the pill bull attacked. According to police, the dog sodomized the boy.

“The dog sexually attacked the kid and caused some pretty significant injuries,” said Lockport Police Detective Capt. Larry Eggert.

Eggert said the boy’s family members, who were reportedly home at the time, and neighbors had to beat the dog to get him off the boy.

This is in fact a true story. As sad as it is, the details of this have not come out 100%. What I would like to know first and foremost is this dog neutered. If it was not neutered, was it ever able to mate. Does it hump people, stuffed animals etc and the family thinks it's funny and cute?? I have seen many families who encourage this as they think this is funny. Please know that an un-neutered dog that is never able to actually mate, is an extremely frustrated dog. This is normally when aggressive behaviors will occur. The fact that we do not know all of the details, ie was there another dog in close proximity of where these people live if not in the home that was in heat. This could prompt a dog to mount a child, an adult, etc...how many dogs have mounted a person's leg in the past, this incident is not really much different to the dog??? The other thing that I ask is, why would a mother leave a small child lying on the floor with a large powerful breed dog in the first place??? This is dog/baby 101 here people...in all of my years in helping people with animal behavior issues, I always tell them, I do not care how much you trust your dog...DO NOT LEAVE THEM ALONE with your baby in a room, especially your baby on the floor, it is a recipe for disaster. NO, we have never heard of a situation like this before, however to call it rape or sodomy is absolutely ridiculous. This is an animal that we have domesticated and we cannot forget that they are instinctual creatures (my guess is the dog is not neutered or has never been able to mate). We want in our hearts to believe they are human and that they think about things the same way that we do, however if you have ever seen a dog that has just killed another animal, you will know that this is not true. We run over a dog or a cat or even a squirrel and we feel horrible, probably for a very long time...a dog does not even think twice about this because they are instinctual creatures and this is not abnormal in their normal existence to do this. I just wish more people would realize that they are not humans, they do not think like humans, they do not act like humans and they should not be treated like humans. Therefore, I will have to say that I hope this family can get through this as it is heartbreaking, however...I have to say that this dog should not be put down because it was doing something that it had no control over.
