A TikTok (@klara_tsetkin) couple is facing a wave of criticism and outrage after they chose to keep their family’s dog, despite the animal’s vicious attack on their own toddler.

As news of their decision to keep the dog spreads, the couple has faced a barrage of criticism on social media and in local news outlets, with many accusing them of putting their own desires above the safety of their child and the community at large. The debate over whether the dog should be put down or allowed to remain with the family rages on, as concerned citizens and animal rights activists weigh in on both sides of the issue.
