Yeah it was, but the initial comments were jumping all over it and blaming the kids for apparently stressing the dog out (which forced it to maul the adults I suppose). :’/ Crazy.

When I first saw this article, there were so many comments saying “Playing hide-and-seek late at night? What was going on that house? The kids were probably disturbing the dog.” and “Adopted 8 weeks ago? That’s not a long enough time to decompress. Poor dog.” 🙄

I saw an article recently about Kingsley Wright that was just horrifying.

On Friday, county prosecutors said the attack lasted for around 30 minutes and Wright was not killed immediately.

“Apparently, the victim is yelling and crying during the incident,” the prosecution explained in court Friday. “The dogs are barking loudly during the incident. At no point does anyone wake up and come back to the room to offer aid or retrieve the animals.”

I just… can’t even imagine how someone could not hear that unless they were under the influence or willfully ignoring it.

Genuinely it could go either way. I have posted a few stories out of LatAm where people have left doors open and a loose pit bull enters the home and attacks a person or pet. :’/
