Seems to me that it applies aptly to a Johnston City, Ill. couple.

Deadly Dog Attack Called a “Tragic Accident”
JOHNSTON CITY– Investigators say the family of a toddler– killed in a dog attack– will not face any criminal charges.
The death of 3 year-old Gabrial Mandrell has been ruled an accident.
Around 8:00 Saturday night, dispatchers in Williamson County received a distressed call regarding the toddler.
Family members had found Gabrial outside his home on Willow Pond Road in Johnston City, and the child was in serious condition.

Less than an hour later, Gabrial was pronounced dead.
Investigators say Gabrial had been sleeping at his home, then woke up, pushed out the screen in his bedroom window, and crawled outside.
It was there he was apparently attacked by the family’s three dogs.
The animals– a collie mix and two pitbull mixes– were taken from the home. They were brought to the Williamson County Animal Control facility. It’s not clear what will happen to the dogs.
What the fuck is a “white” family with a toddler doing with two pit bulls? Meth dealers, are we? Sounds to me like Johnston City’s Finest didn’t do enough investigation.
The collie mix wouldn’t have participated in the mauling all by itself. I happen to think that one of the two pit bulls was the alpha dog in that household, and in a pack, lower dogs take on the demeanor of the alpha dog.
