well some people would ask a question regarding what kind of dogs this woman had and if they were raised in a mean or degrading house hold that would cause the dogs to attack

The only time I have ever heard of something like this is when someone purposely put gun powder in the dogs food, left, and came back home to an X wife! They should check deeper into this because usually this is very, very rare in deed!

If these dogs were so fercosious, why did a 74yr old lady have them and wasn't her family concerned that she couldn't even keep them in the same room togethor? THey need to check the dogs befor they put them down........ Those breeds are not known for such hostility. SOmething is fishy.......

Why do they keep leading this story with, "They say a dog is man's best friend, but that isn't the case today." Hello??? The dog didn't attack a man. Nice try though.

This lady took a risk anyhow because she had too many dogs in the household for her to handle! She took her own risk, so it isn't the dogs fault...it is their nature! Putting too many dogs together like that by your self anyway is nothing but asking for trouble!

What I would like to know is if all those dogs were hers or also her sons? It seems to me that an elderly person wouldn't want to care for any more then one or two. There must be something more to this story. It can't be that simple! Certain things don't add up.

well. finally more info. They say there was already issues with the bigger dogs..and when people came over they had to put the animals away. And they didnt like the cocker spaniel.

I know we all love our animals, and never want to give them up...but when issues arise like this, someone needs to use sound judgement. The woman was to old and fragile to handle large aggressive dogs. And the son should have known better.
When i was a child my family adopted a Malamute, it did not like my baby sister and would growl and snap at her....My father returned the dog ASAP, and found a more suitible dog for the family.
when i got my female pit, as an adult, there were some issues in the beginning...she was trying to be Alpha, when i already had an Alpha in the home. So there were a couple of spats...that we broke up immediately, and let BOTH dogs KNOW we the parents were the ALPHAS, now the two get along wonderfully, to the point they protect each other. But I am aware of the nature of a pit, and always on guard for triggers they may set them off. My animals are socialized, very spoiled, and very loving. People need to be responsable, with their animals.
Such a senseless death, and so very sad.

There is not enough information to say, we can all guess, but none of us were there and I don't believe we will ever know for sure.

People must learn how to introduce dog the right way, ever dog owner should be required to go to DOG TRAINING CLASSES, Dogs learn to Bond, you both learn to communicate and the dog learns you are the MASTER. I see these types of problems everyday, not to this degree, but it is NO SURPRISE to me..

We can control many things in life but NATURE will always be out of our hands. We can't control Hurricanes,lightening,Tornadoes, or ANY act of nature...but that's why we have educated people (LIKE on FOX) to keep us informed. Knowledge is our only hope. The same holds true with ANY animal GOD created...he created them with instincts...primal instincts...that we as humans will never control. What turns a perfectly sweet, well respected person into a serial killer...humans are unpredictable...just like all things in nature.
I am saddened by the news and my heart goes out to her loved ones. I live everyday knowing that my animals could do me some real harm or even one day take my life...but still believe they are a part of my family.
