Anyone wanna make a guess at the breed of the dog??

MY COMMENT:  Just off the” top of my head” …..There’s a 70 % chance the infant was killed by a Pit Bull Type Dog – A Gripping Dog,   A 20% chance the infant was killed by a Rottweiler or Rottweiler Mix,   A 9% chance the infant was killed by an Akita, Husky, German Shepherd, etc.  And Less than 1% the infant was killed by a smaller breed house dog such as a dachshund.
