Authorities say a dog mauled and killed a 2-month old child in this South Carolina home.

A supposedly "gentle" pooch named Lucky is suspected of killing a 2-month-old baby and tearing the child's body apart in South Carolina.
Aiden McGrew, who was born on Valentine's Day and was the youngest of three children, was found dead in his family's mobile home Friday in Ridgeville by his mother, according to The Post and Courier newspaper.
The baby was in a swing when Lucky, a golden retriever-Labrador mix, bit the child several times and tore off his legs, authorities said.
The child's father, Quintin, was in the home at the time, police said. He was in another room asleep with the family's 3-year-old and their other dog.
The baby was discovered when his mother, Chantel, came home after taking their seven-year-old to a doctor's appointment, The Post and Courier reported.
"This... is about as bad as it can get for us as police officers," Dorchester County Sheriff L.C. Knight said at a press conference Friday. "I've been doing this a lot of years and haven't seen one like this."
It is unclear why the father did not wake up when the baby was attacked, police said. The mother told 911 at the time that her husband was still asleep when she got home.
Shirley Pargiello, 70, a next-door neighbor to the McGrew family, told The Post and Courier that Lucky was "a very gentle dog."
"It's a beautiful dog," she said. "I went over to say hi one day, and he came right up to me and stopped. I rubbed his head, then he left.”
No charges have been filed in the case, which police said was still "under investigation."

right, why the hell was the dad asleep and leaving a 2 month old unsupervised in a swing in the next room?
why the hell didn't he wake up , the baby must have been screaming his head off?
why the hell do people always comment on what a "beautiful" and "gentle" thing the dog was= the dog was a killer , end of and I don't think anyone should in their right mind have a dog in the house with babies and young children even the most gentle of dogs will bite you........never leave a baby and a dog alone, you are asking for trouble and endangering your child's life, I don't care what anyone says you should not have a dog in the house hold with a baby or young children, people don't need to have dogs!"
