The dad doesn't blame the dog owner? Her dogs attacked at least three people badly enough to require medical intervention. At what point do you muzzle your violent beasts or take other constructive measures? The first attack is hard to prevent but when it becomes a pattern, failing to act is clear negligence at best.
Sorry but a dog is just a dog. As soon as they attack people it's time to put them down. Maybe you can blame the owner but the dog has already been led a stray.
Re: the posted Texas article above , child porn, peodo, photographed sex with a Great Dane? That’s next level nutcases , and somehow they found each other .

No attack happens without some type of warning.. The problem is.. a lot people don't really understand dog behaviours and/or characteristics.
I know a lot of owners of dogs.. particularly game/guardian dogs.. that are surprised by a behaviour that they should have expected.
IMO.. It's ultimately the Father's fault for allowing his kid near these dogs.. especially unattended.. although I doubt that would matter if the dogs were intent. The owner deserves some blame.. but most of it.. arguable.. all of it.. falls on the Father.
Cane Corsos are a powerful breed.. their bite force can be 2 or 3 times a pitbull... and they can easily over-power a lot of adults. Who knows.. it's possible those dogs killed that kid without intending to harm him.
I hope they're considering charging people.

A week ago a neighbour was walking his 15 pound dog, on leash, in the local park and as he passed the children's playground someone called out to him that a coyote was watching him from near the edge of the playground.
As he cut through the playground the coyote took a run at his dog. He picked it up as mothers and kids screamed and scattered with the coyote running through their midst. Someone threw a toy at the coyote distracting it and it ran off a very short distance. It continued to stalk the neighbour's dog.
When he got home he called animal services (As apparently did others) and got the candyass reply of
"They were here first."
YES, when everyone walked around with guns, clubs, spears, bows and arrows to kill off the damn things.

True but in the case of sending multiple people for medical treatment, none of which were apparently a threat, there needs to be an intervention. Whether that line is at one or two attacks is an interesting question with no clear answer. I would argue that after one, a muzzle should be required.
I know of multiple dogs that weren't put down until after multiple attacks. In most cases, the dirtbag owners failed to take any responsibility or actions. For instance, the kid that got attacked in toronto while the lady had her dog (with an existing dangerous dog order requiring a muzzle) off leash in the playground and then she ran away and when eventually caught asked the court when she would get her dog back. She should have a prohibition order to never own a dog again as she is incapable of dealing with them. She can own a cat so she is the one that takes the brunt of her bad decisions.

A good while back I was talking to a veterinarian I knew about a similar incident in Markham where the dog was large but previously always been well tempered. She commented that some veterinarians feel that dogs still have the remnants of a wolf pack in their brains. As they hunt they communicate by yips and yaps and a sound like a squeaking hinge could trigger an attack command. Interesting theory.
I got a nip from a cousin's dog once. I was staying with her for a couple of days and there wasn't any tension between me and her dogs. Then we decided to go somewhere and I thought I could put the one dog inside the house the same way she did. The dog let me know I wasn't the alpha male. My fault. It was a nip not an attack. Don't assume.
There is a type of person that ‘needs’ a big ass dog with a pedegree of being a dangerous breed . Big spike collar , name the dog Randy Savage or something stupid . And you can put a court order for muzzles in place , leash zones and even take the dog, they just get another one . It’s a lifestyle , 17yr old baby mamma , dude with 3 paycheck d worth of tats and a 100lb bull terrier. Am I stereotyping? Yes because stereotypes are based on reality.
The lady and the dad need a criminal negligence causing death charge .i feel bad for the dogs because on a 100acre farm guarding goats they would be awesome , a pair in a subdivision is such a bad idea .

A buddy raises goats and has 2 dogs he call "livestock protection dogs". I don't know what they are but I wouldn't want to be around them without him there. That said I'm not a dog person and dogs can pick up on that. I've been bitten twice. (nipped? the dog ripped the bottom of my riding pants)

Yes, dogs and cats are predators (or were) and screams of pain can in many trigger an attack from that previous wild wiring, from an otherwise non-aggressive animal. Basically the screams of pain from the prey signalled others to jump in. In some of these multiple dog attacks the screams of the victim from the initial dog attack set off the other dogs. It also can escalate the initial attack. I have personally seen this in both dogs and cats over the years.
The level of response to squeaky toys can also be observed...
A reverse example with our current cat, when we had two his crying was at a minimal. After the other cat passed away (and he was the most gentle...) you would think our remaining cat was in massive pain if his food is five minutes late. When we are watching a friend's dog, his screaming stops. Many have the same instinct to not set off the response, even if there would be no response.

My wife was walking our daughter's 10 pound pup and picked it up when the local dog walker with five on leash approached. The dog walker cautioned my wife that some dogs could interpret my wife's actions as a form of snatching a fellow canine. Dog psychology?
The dog walker won't take on aggressive animals. Owner's problem.

Animal services can't really do anything.. except chase it away. Which is what the person(s) that saw should have done instead of calling out...
it sounds like the dog owner, and a lot of others, did exactly what they're not supposed to do.
Ping (Amy) Guo's injuries were concentrated on her arms and legs, consistent with a large animal, said the coroner

An owner was killed by his own dogs.. during the investigation, they realized the dogs had previous killed a neighbouring lady.. who's death was originally contributed to a bear attack.

I have coyotes around my place all the time, the city of Markham doesn't relocate them, they put up signs informing people of the local dens, and asking them to stay away. Doesn't work -- the signs attract people with cameras looking for coyotes.
We bump into them occasionally on walks, they aren't interested in people. They will take squirrels, rabbits, and little dogs (neighbour's Bichon was snatched in front of our house). I've watched them pass on raccoons and they seem to avoid cats at all costs.
They will start being more noticeable soon as this is the time of year the young are born. Coyotes will be more visible as they are madly hunting to feed their young. For another month they will show force and be aggressive if you get near a den.
