    There is no evidence that she was being terrible towards the dogs

    Some dogs can just snap and decide to not be nice one day, its a good reason you don’t let dogs you’ve seen be calm interact with babies because it only takes a small amount of the dog not being nice to end up harming a baby

    Older people have a better chance of surviving dog attacks but the chance isn’t 100% and cases like this can happen

    And if I recall correctly this breed is more prone to aggressiveness

      I doubt it. Not walking them enough, keeping them cooped up, no outlets - especially if they weren’t fixed. Sad all around, but the dogs are not hatching evil plans, they’re just dogs.

      Spay and neuter. Spay and neuter. And adopt.

        Dogs that snapped are not being evil, it’s just them acting on instinct. It’s doesn’t make them bad dogs, but it does make them dangerous.

        Dogs can still have the potential to snap regardless if you’ve given them a good life

        They could just snap from having a tantrum

        Some dogs get older and I assume confused and just snap. My grandmother’s dog, sweetest girl, golden retriever, service dog, previously good with other animals and cats. My Grandmom brought home a kitten and the dog mauled it. Do not trust dogs. Just like people they can do something totally out of character.
