A 7-day-old Indiana boy died last year after being attacked by a dog named Chomp.
Quote:
Shortly after Jason died, someone from the Huntington County Health Department determined the home was not fit for people to live in and ordered them to vacate by Sept. 8.

An autopsy later showed more than 180 abrasions and several bruises on the boy's head, neck, torso, back and limbs. It also uncovered major internal injuries like brain hemorrhages, rib fractures and tears in the lungs.
During interviews with family members, police learned Jason's father, Austin Kinsey, was playing video games when he briefly left the room to talk to his mother and his son's mother, court records say.
Soon after, Jason's grandfather, Timothy Kinsey, burst through the door with the baby in his arms, telling them to call for an ambulance. He later explained that he was in the kitchen when he heard Jason making noises and saw Chomp dragging the infant. He took the baby to Rita Wickey's room for help.
Family members described Chomp as being gentle with Jason, saying he would rock the baby's bouncer and "love" on him, court documents show. But they also said he was a jealous dog who was often aggressive toward other animals and had bitten people before.
After one such incident, Rita Wickey told someone who has not been charged in the case that he could carry a gun in the house to shoot Chomp if there were any further issues, court records say.
Court documents also detail the house being filled with bugs, including some in Jason's car seat, as well as trash, dirty dishes and dirty clothes.

There really is nothing that saddens me more, nor infuriates me to no end, than to see kids that you know in your heart of hearts have no hope for a decent future because of their circumstances.

Annoying dog name.
We adopted the Zuko Dog in 2022 and since he had previously been in service dog training before we got him his foster recommended we keep the same name since he was used to it, so we did. They gave us his paperwork with his history dating back to a shelter in CA and it turns out at one point he was named "Chomper" according to the vet records. What a stupid name. Not that Zuko is tremendously better, but Chomper is a stupid name.
Another dog name that ranks on the stupid list is Rowdy. I've known several people who have had some stupid mutts with that name.
