Please don't go all gangbusters on Barry!  You don't even know the backstory 
about the incident.  You don't know that he probably discussed with his 
brother before getting rid of the other dog.  You don't know what the 
circumstances are in regard to the baby.  Many dogs who agress against other 
dogs don't always do this against humans - even baby humans.

Barry has done what he needs to do and judgemental stuff like this is no 
help to him.  This sort of thing is highly unusual.  It is possible the dog 
had a brain tumor or some other problem is the behavior just started up 
after no problem before.

I read Barry's email and he didn't provide all the little details about but 
he did do what had to be done.

Barry, I hope, if the dog was put down, that you had it autopsied for cause 
for the sudden change in behavior.  This kind of thing happened to a friend 
back in the 1970s and that dog was found to have had a brain tumor.
