Oh, this poor man just maybe tragically, needlessly lost his dog besides the tragic death of his wife and child? How in the world can they call it a mauling if she had no bites? Blood from head or other wounds from a fall would not look look like a dog biting/tearing wound, would it? Aren't most fatal wounds from big dogs from tearing flesh away in vital areas or severing blood vessels? Something very odd about the initial report. I pray a good dog did not needlessly die!
Whether this turns out to be a mauling doesn't change our desperate need to try to stop the carnage from big dangerous dogs and then maybe many horrible injuries as well as needless people and dog deaths can be significantly reduced. What a better world that would be.
