Sounds like the poor dog went nuts after the son died.

The "poor dog"?. You think that mini-monster tore an old lady to shreds out of grief?

I'm not discounting the horrible tragedy.

But I do know that dogs tend to lose their sanity from grief, yes.

It probably thought it was abandoned, rather than the son being dead, as most people do not let pets say goodbye. It took that abandonment out on the first person it saw.
