The poor little tyke would have been scared out of her wits and crying for mummy.

my dd's are 3 and 2, what a horrible thing to happen.

This is just heartbreaking, that poor little girl and her family. I am fed up with all these dog attacks on kids

[Mischief]

Its heart breaking! We will never leave our little son alone with our dogs.....or anyone elses dogs! Even the nicest family pet can turn.

So sad. Poor little girl. Her poor family.

That is so disturbing. But what upsets me more is where were her parents. How could you let you kid just wander off to some one elses yard...

[luckymama]

I totally agree, and she was in the dogs territory, i really feel for the family, but the dogs were just protecting their family

i thought this at first too, but then my dd's are quite quick and they also try and pat dogs that walk past our gate too

I just heard on the radio that the little girl squeezed through a hole in a fence. I guess the question is who should of fixed of the fence?

The neighbour had 6 dogs in the yard. They apparently were already known to be aggressive.

That is so sad Poor little girl & her poor family, you just dont imagine things like this to happen to your kids do you?

It is very sad that story and I think that the owners of the dogs should be charged over the death and the dogs detroyed. Being pigging dogs once they had the taste of blood they would of gone nuts, I have been pigging before and its not a sight I would like to see again . If my dogs bit my children without a reason I would destroy them immediately but if my kids did some to the dog to make the dog bite them well it is they own fault and that is the same for the school kids that walk pass my yard and stir my dogs up by throwing sticks and rocks and barking at them if they get bit by my dogs it is their fault not my dogs. I agree where were the parents but also if the dogs were hunting dogs why werent they chained up. It is just a tragic accident that never should of happened.
