Dachshund Goes For Kibbles and Bits

A woman with a history of drug abuse says she woke up from a nap to find her miniature dachshund had torn off her baby boy's genitals. Authorities have doubts about her story, but exactly how the newborn was maimed is still a mystery.

Holden Gothia, now 7 weeks old, was found on a bed in his mother's apartment covered in blood. His genitals were severed and there was a deep cut in his upper leg.

According to the doctors, the injuries were not consistent with dog bites — the lacerations were too neat. But Holden's mother, the only person who might have the answers, has checked into a treatment program and refuses to cooperate with police. No charges have been filed.

Those dachshunds are crafty. We had one that licked the icing off a chocolate cake without taking a bite out of the cake.

Never leave a dog alone with a kid--lesson to learn.
