In the news today
Children killed by pit bull mix and a border collie. I have never seen a border collie that was mean.
I can also picture how many herding dogs (or heck, dogs in general?), when seeing adults running towards a crying/scared child - might feel compelled to defend the child against the "attackers"? Which might explain why the onlookers said the dogs "just kept coming back"?
