Yes it said the mother was with the child when it was attacked.... I do trust my dogs with my granddaughter, they would protect her to the end, butI still supervise. McKinley is only two and there are the eyes and ears and teeth . she has to learn to respect the dogs, as well as the dogs have to respect her...just the way it is. First of all, being a mom, grandmother, and dog mom, if one of my dogs did decide to eat McKinley for the fun of it..I wouldn't be running out in the yard to get help. I would pick up whatever, and protect her. I would be the one with the cuts and bruises. And, don't get me wrong, my dogs are my babies. But I am not going to stand by and let my grandchild, child be mauled, but, I will not stand by and let one of my dogs be abused either.
There always seems to be missing pieces to dog bite stories. I always wonder what really happened? JMO
