I'm skeptical too. After all, this puppy gnawed off four toes.

That took time and commitment on the puppy's part. The baby had to have been screaming (wouldn't you? Babies feel pain too.). Four toes! That will leave this child permanently disabled with respect to her ability to walk and run. We need our toes for normal gait and balance, and if her big toe was among the four that are now missing, she'll never walk normally.

The fact that the parents failed to wake up with an infant having parts of her body literally eaten off her while sitting right beside them suggests that they may have been under the influence of something more than fatigue. But whatever their reason for not waking, the bottom line is that they are responsible for this injury. It's not an accident because their actions set up a situation in which injury could reasonably be anticipated. We hold drunk drivers legally responsible for the injuries they cause for the same reason.
