A friend of the dogs' owner said the two dogs were usually very obedient and the attack came out of nowhere.

NZ first are on to something with their bill for much harsher penalties for people who own dogs that attack someone, it happens far too often, and owners are far too casual about the damage a dog can do.

Also, good to see the same quotes you always hear after a dog attack. They’re such sweet dogs, this hasn’t happened before, they’re great with the baby, etc.

I’m sick of reading the same story every other year.
