A terrible tragedy. There seems to be something missing from this story. The dogs knew the child concerned and she knew them. The dogs often played with the neighbour's children. So what set them off? Maybe we will never know.
However, this sentence in the article makes me wonder even more: "The girl was being supervised by an adult but it doesn’t appear anyone witnessed the mauling, Seel said." That is not logical. How can the girl be supervised but no-one saw what happened? The so-called supervisor must have been a very long way away, not to have heard any screaming. So that is hardly "supervised", by any normal use of the word.
But of course it is always easy to be wise after the event.
