Dog scratched up the hardwood floors? Put down.
Little Timmy wasn't feeding/cleaning up after rover? Rover goes bye bye.
An infant is dead... "This dog deserves a second chance and should be re homed"
This isn't even a debate about what the husky thought it was doing or it's intentions, this dog in question is in no way more worthy of adoption than any other pets at the shelter RIGHT NOW.
If you want to save tragic animals DO IT, go to the shelter, right now. Their waiting for you!

Those dogs aren't in the news. If I'm some busybody on an acreage somewhere else, I can get my name in the paper saying I'll adopt this dog, and the chances of actually getting it (and having to do the work involved in taking care of a medium/large dog) are minimal.
If I go get a dog (that would otherwise get putdown) from the local pound/shelter, I get all of the work and none of the press time.
It's people who are more into hearing themselves talk than into helping animals.
