This picture is pretty telling...Alicia the Idiot Mom is standing by her dog while Noah is on his own to heal. Real cool Alicia.I love dogs and all, but this seems to be a bit much. A 2 year old was mauled by his family dog and the mother decides that the dog should stay. Granted that the little boy did not die but he has some pretty nasty cuts and bruises all over his face (as you can see in the picture). The paramedics said that he was lucky to be able to see out of his left eye. So this wasn’t a nip at the boy, it wasn’t a playful bite this was an all out attack. If this was a responsible parent, the dog would be dead in 13.7 seconds (the time it takes to "lock and load") or at least on the way to the “farm”. Alicia Cottier, the mother, says, “I believe Noah (the boy) was annoying her. I love the dog and she's part of the family.” Alicia did the only logical thing...she protected the dog...little Noah should be able to take care of himself. As the dude in Monte Python says, "It's only a flesh wound."
She goes on to claim that, “it's not like the dog picked him up and shook him or anything, she just snapped at him for pulling on her ears” and “she's a good dog, I've never had any problems with her before and I don't think it's her fault.” Ok, so instead of protecting your child you are protecting your dog. This reminds me of a girl that Bobby used to date…we will call her “Liz”. She once said that if a family lost their house due to a disaster (fire, hurricane or anything other weather machine that George Bush has out there) she would feel worse for the dog than the family who lost everything. This type of reasoning makes no sense.
But the reporter of this story goes on to imply that everything is ok in the Newbold/Cottier (the boy and mother have different last names) Household because Noah the 2 year old says that he loves Cassey the baby eater. Unfortunately this happened in a private home in Australia and the police can not press charges. It seems to me that if this happened in America Cassey would be on her way to whatever factory they use dead dogs in (like horses would be the glue factory).
Congratulations Alicia Cottier for being the first mother nominated in 2008 for D&F Mother of the Year. You are in great company with Britney Spears.
