I was flipping through the Akron Beacon Journal yesterday when I found this:

So your reaction to a child dying is to post it on the forum for our amusement? I'm missing the joke.

I'm with the Boy on this one. If the result of this was anything but the death of a 20 month old, then we may be able to pluck a joke out of this, but I'm going to file this one under T for tragic.

Settle down folks. The OP obviously only posted this because it's one of his/ her first experience of when the "real" world and the Newbridgeverse collide.

no harm, no foul.

On the other hand, I woke up this morning to find THIS:

I'm distressed that Spike omitted the apostrophe.

That story is extremely sad.  I've known some great rotweillers in my life, and I can't believe this would happen.  It's bad enough that a child was killed in probably the worst way imaginagle, and I'm sure the dog will be put down, which is also terrible.  I think that dog's owners should do some jail time.

No pet should be so far out of whack that it would attack a human or even another pet.  I've known rotweillers that were afraid of kittens.  It's criminal that that dog's thought process was "That is smaller than me and vulnerable, I should attack it now."

Even the most vicious, biggest, scariest dog I ever knew was trained to be on guard while outside the house, but a complete teddy bear when inside.  This rotweiller's behavior is either the result of his owner's malicious influence, or neglect.

I've gotta research this story further.  This is driving me nuts.
