One of my cats will attack any and every dog he sees (no matter how big). He has never lost a fight.
The other one won't attack anything!

I like dogs, too. But a dog like that need to be put down.
If he did it once, he'll do it again.

I am beginning to have doubts about this video. There seems to be two cameras filming the scene from two totally different angles, otherwise, why film the approach of the dog that is on the far left of the car, at all? The other camera seems to be several yards away on the right of the car. Curious, no?

Home security video, the home has multiple cameras to cover the front area of the home.

Not having home security cameras, is this how you would normally direct those type of cameras? One other thing I noticed is that the boy didn't seem to be bawling his head off. I would have at that age. He just seems to walk away. However, I don't know how to explain the video otherwise.

To get good coverage of anyone coming or leaving the home I think that the cameras are probably properly set, they also cover the driveway from either side so they can record anyone vandalizing their cars. I am sure that there are more cameras one at the door for sure, I am sure that there would also be others, with two cameras covering the front of the home I am sure that they did not skimp on the system, if it were an economy system there would probably only be one camera covering the front parking area, I also noticed that the video was pretty high quality as they have been showing this on the major networks. In one report they showed his wounds, they were bad enough to get the stitches that he reportedly got.

The wound and stitches would seem to verify the account. However, the wounds do not seem to be dog bites. It appears that the dog grabbed the boys shorts and dragged him. Also, the stitched up arm looks a bit off to me. It doesn't look like a little boy's arm. Having a young grandson of my own, it just looks different. Notice the way he's swinging his arms when he gets up. He's not favoring either one as though one were hurt.
