First-time parents Chloe and Mark say in the eight years of owning their two huskies, they had never shown any history of aggression. Devastated mum Chloe says it could happen to any family.

“Just bring awareness that it could be any dog at any time. Completely unprovoked, no matter what the history is,” she told WVLT.

The family is now grieving the loss of their much-loved little boy, but have found comfort in knowing that other children will be saved through his organ donation.

“Being his mum was the biggest honour and the best thing I’ve ever done.

“Really don’t take anything for granted even if it’s a moment you’re annoyed in the the moment or frustrated in. All of those little moments are still so amazing.”

The dog responsible for the attack was taken to an animal shelter.

  • Absolutely heartbreaking! My heart hurts so much for this family. That poor little baby. I don’t trust any animals near my little ones, no one could ever convince me that their dog who wouldn’t hurt anyone wouldn’t hurt my babies, you just never know!

  • This is why I will never have a dog and feel people who won’t keep their dogs on leashes in urban areas should lose them.
