Being in the sticks here it's not a news maker, but have a 7-year old neighbor kid (about a 60-pounder) that got seriously mauled by Grandma's Rottweiler a couple days back. No bones broken, but has both arms in casts up to his armpits to keep things stable while tendons and muscles start healing. Lots of stitches too on the back of his neck. Fortunately, his face wasn't savaged.
Don't know the specifics on the kid's actions (did he pull its tail or something), but he and his siblings have been around the dog on a weekly basis for several years. Dog was put down within an hour. Sucks to be the kid, as he has to be tended to for every activity (meals, bathroom, dressing, bathing, etc). Kid seems in good spirits though commenting that Grandma's dog decided to use him as a chew toy.
Seems even the good can go bad once in a while.
