WOW, what a day.
Here is a bit from the second story

Investigators said O’Neal was not at the home when the dog, a Rottweiler, bit the pair but returned to take them to the hospital.
The dog has been taken into police custody and the incident remains under investigation.

I really don't know what to make of it. I would trust my dog at home with a friend and their kid assuming I knew the adult well and that they would not let the kid harrass the dog.
I am going to bet that the three year old did something the dog did not like and that the mom stepped in and got bit too. How very sad, and more fuel for the fire.
Unfortunately, most of the good things our dogs do don't make headlines. SIGH.
