  1. A one year old toddler is no match for two Rottweilers but I question why a one year old toddler is outside without being supervised by an adult. Such a tragedy, and loss of lives, both the toddler’s and the dogs.

  2. The toddler was outside by himself, which makes no sense whatsoever.

    The dogs were apparently kept OUTSIDE, and weren’t really pets, but lawn ornaments. Unsocialized, not trained, and not the kind of dogs who should be in the hands of someone as irresponsible and cruel as the idiot who apparently had them.

    Now all 3 are dead because of a terrible owner and a child who wasn’t being supervised. I don’t blame the dogs, but I do blame their owner .
