I saw that. I actually posted the story here yesterday. Sad all around:

Thanks for the link. I tried to post the same story this AM, did a search, but the title was different from your article, so I didn’t see it.
Anyhoo, the source I was posting from is not allowed on FR due to copyright issues.
Hard to imagine a Weim killing a child, but I think it was a singular bite, that unfortunately was in the neck area.
The Weim was 8, and had been a family pet. We have an 8 year old Weim and a 4 year old. The 8 year old we’ve had since she was a pup, the 4 year old we adopted 2 years ago (female 70 lbs, male 90 lbs.) We’ve never had a bite, but I still don’t trust them when children are in our home, especially toddlers. Any dog can bite, this story is so tragic because I believe if the bite had been in another area of the body, it would have been just that, a bite...not a fatality.
