Family Provides Explanation for Tragic Dog Attack Leading to Boy’s Death
Dogs are crazy
Seriously saddened by this.
so sad
Damn dogs
My heart breaks for this young child and his loved ones. 🙏💖
Yeah they need to tighten up their security and pick up all stay dogs but was this a stray dog or did someone own it
I m so sad, pray for the family and the child….
Too many people getting attacked by dogs. It is completely preventable. Make it harder to get a dog. Training and registration. Mandatory locater chips so owners are held responsible for strays and attacks.
RiP little dude..
Rip little boy in heaven .dog owners need to be more in controll of ther dogs teach dogs to behave training . And keep on a leash or chained up or kennel or owner need to be out with dogs when out side .prayers for family .too many people getting dog and not doing nothing with them but letting them run loose and run ther house hold .owners need to be held responsible for ther dogs actions .because of lack of owner responsability . I own a dog its small .but my dog does not go out side unless it is leashed or chained up and even then i am out with my dog during that time and i am interacting with my dog .when i go in the house my dog goes in the house .period .
This reservation has a huge, HUGE problem with loose dogs. People need to learn to spay & neuter their dogs, but many do not. People (of ALL races & colors) who don't 'fix' their dogs don't want the bother. Or they'll say they can't afford it, yet there will be a brand new four wheeler or pickup sitting in their driveway, etc. Dogs that have been friendly don't typically just attack unless somehow provoked or they're protecting something. (And before anyone starts bashing me, I have been the victim of a dog bite/attack at the age of 7. I still love dogs. In fact, I never blamed the dogs because I knew it was due to how they were raised (absentee owners) and that they were protecting the friend I was with.) I feel horrible for what happened to this boy, and we'll sadly never know the whole story.
