I really can't believe this story. I don't doubt that dogs are capable of attacking, maiming and even killing people, but sexual assault?

Most un-neutered dogs I know that hump even need considerable help when it comes to actual mating. I can't believe that in the time the parent left the child alone, the family dog attacked, pinned and pentrated the child.

The moment the dog jumped at the kid--let alone attacked-- wouldn't the child have screamed bloody murder? Would the parent not have come running at the child's crys? And how could the dog have acted so quickly to penetrate? We've all seen dogs trying to hump other dogs...

This wouldn't be the first time someone has tried to pin the blame for child abuse on someone/something else.

ETA: Reading the story-- the dog spooked and dragged the child outside, where the neighbors could see what was going on. They took some time to disentangle the boy and the dog.... seriously? Seriously?? I know dogs have a bone in their willies, but I can't imagine (pardon my being so graphic) that the violent jerking of the dog upon being discovered would not have yanked him free from the boy's rectum before he could run outside, still "attached" to the child.
