What's the point of your sarcasm? Neither the article nor anyone in it tries to make it the little girl's fault or said she shouldn't be out in her yard. There's no defense of the dog's owner.
You've been around a lot longer than me. I'm faily certain you've seen these dog attack threads before.
If this one follows the usual pattern, the point of my sarcasm will shortly become abundantly crystal clear.
And yes, for anyone who might want to know or not, I own dogs. Two of em. Mongrels.
