Dogs are wolves inbred by men to make them pets.
But wolf instinct still lurks. There is the pecking order from alpha male and alpha female that keeps the rest of the pack in line.
The alpha male and female were not there.
It is NORMAL for a wolf/dog to attack a young rival in the order. Babies and young children are especially at risk.
Don't let your enthusiasm for the species blind you to the undercurrents of what makes them tick.

You could not be more incorrect.
Total horsehockey. Pack dogs, which are closer to wolves, are known to view children as pups, and treat them accordingly. Used to have a huge huskie/shepard mix, would snap anything less than 1/4" chain. When he did get away, we knew exactly where to find him -- schoolyards. We'd always find him surrounded by grade school kids who were riding him as a pony, pulling his tail, whatever. Those kids were his pups, and he loved playing with them.
The problem is not with dogs. The problem is with the breed, plain and simple. Stop denying the obvious.
It is not normal for a wolf/dog to attack a younger member of the order. The younger members are welcomed.
