AN “AGGRESSIVE” sausage dog has mauled a newborn baby to death after vets ignored fears from parents and refused to put the animal down.

The deadly dachshund reportedly jumped into the baby’s cot whilst it was sleeping before it strangled the tot to death, at its home in Siberia, Russia.

The devastating attack came just a month after the baby’s birth – the family’s second child in the town of Seversk.

On March 10, during the night, the pet took a firm grip of the baby’s neck before strangling it silently, without waking up its parents.

According to a family member, the dog had become more aggressive since the baby’s birth.

It comes as missing mum-of-two Jemma Hart, 45, was eaten by her two pet sausage dogs in Swindon this week.
