Seems to me that the neighborhood knew the dogs were an issue – why were children allowed to go to the bus stop without any adults nearby?
I would never send my 5-year-old out early in the morning to wait for the bus alone. I would watch him, walk with him, or make sure an adult was around.
Dogs raised well are not killing machines. If you are not a responsible pet owner, your dogs will be a menace.
Share away, people.
