This may just be a very unfortunate turn of events but I don't know if it constitutes neglegience.
Whatever, this is terrible.

The negligence part is falling asleep with the baby unattended with such a "bitey" animal having the run of the house. To boot, who sleeps through seven fingers being chewed off their baby while in the same room? Something tells me that sleeping is code for "passed out."
