The Brentwood Gazette’s Weekly Teaser — 6-11-2013: SUEZ!

Oh, now that’s sad … 

Seems a four year old girl in Leicestershire was killed, after being attacked by the family’s pet dog.

Sad … ?   No, I’m thinking that it’s tragic, as all these things always are.

I’m ALSO expecting there’s going be an almighty fuss: both pro-and-anti dog.

All I can wonder is simple, really … ?   However devastating this is for the parents, I have to ask if they were keeping a seriously close eye on both dog or child.   Although I’m as aware as anyone — having occasionally looked after my three-year-old nephew — that it only takes a few minutes for a child to get into mischief: would only take Jude a few minutes, as a nasty thought, to get into trouble with an otherwise friendly dog.

Hmmm … 

Fingers crossed, there, I think.
