Sausage dog kills BABY after jumping tot’s crib while family slept as vet refused to euthanize ‘aggressive’ pet
AN "AGGRESSIVE" sausage dog has mauled a newborn baby to death after vets ignored fears from parents and refused to put the animal down.
The deadly dachshund reportedly jumped into the baby's cot whilst it was sleeping before it strangled the tot to death, at its home in Siberia, Russia.
The devastating attack came just a month after the baby's birth - the family's second child in the town of Seversk.
On March 10, during the night, the pet took a firm grip of the baby's neck before strangling it silently, without waking up its parents.
According to a family member, the dog had become more aggressive since the baby's birth.
And prior to the attack, the owners had previously tried to have the animal put down because of this increased aggression.
However, vets found the animal was healthy and refused to euthanize it.
The parents woke to find their baby had tragically been killed by the pet dog.
The dog was kept on a leash during the night out of fear, but on the tragic night of the baby's death, the father had forgotten to tie it up.
The family member also told local media that the mum "blames herself" for the incident and that it was "tragic".

They added: "This dachshund that lived with them, an eight-year-old dog. It behaved aggressively towards adult owners.
"And when the second child was born in the family in February, the aggression only increased.
"The parents understood the danger, decided on euthanasia. And they brought the dog to several clinics, but they were refused, because the animal was physically absolutely healthy."
The dog has now reportedly been euthanized.
It comes as missing mum-of-two Jemma Hart, 45, was eaten by her two pet sausage dogs in Swindon this week.
