Well, lots of stuff but I mostly think, "What breed?" Because, as I guessed correctly, the story is a whole lot less surprising, and even more depressing, once you know the answer to that question:
Dog breeds are not like races. Breeds were created intentionally by emphasizing certain behaviourial traits going back a long time. You can and should exclude dogs and especially some breeds from some sorts of situations. Huskies are sweethearts most of the time. But let one get hot, tired or feeling threatened about his place in the social hierarchy and look out. And leaving a child within reach of or alone with a Husky, German Shepherd, Doberman or other breed with dominant tendencies is morally insane.
Bad, bad choice as a family pet.
By the way, if you are looking for evidence that our civilization is headed for collapse, check this line from the story out:
A pet husky has killed a newborn boy in the family’s home just north of Calgary, RCMP said Thursday.There are some dog breeds that ought never to be left around children. Husky is one of them.

The dog is in quarantine until the family and municipal bylaw officers decide whether it should be put down.Seriously, they have to think about that one? Just put the dog down folks.
