He is a brave little boy. We live close to a busy road and our neighbors dogs were out. The little girl, my youngest son and my 8 year old were trying to round them up when the dogs rand to and crossed the road. The little girl and my youngest were going to chase after them when my 8 year old put a stop to the nonsense and wouldn’t let them get near that road. I am chilled thinking about it, and proud of the little guy. The dogs were rounded up and everyone is ok, but I am still horrified at the thought of the kids getting in the road.
Your point about the chihuahuas to me says that you think the dog is likely a pit bull, and I agree. The story doesn’t say, but like terrorist attacks world wide and the immediate assumption that it is a muslim involved, pit bulls are usually the dog involved in maulings. Safe assumptions.
The three breeds that seem to maul the most are Pitbulls, Rottweilers, and Dobies.
