I honestly don’t know why people own dogs like that, except for use in security, but certainly never around children.
It is an older couple who don’t have young kids of their own. The article says they were watching these kids for the parents, who are back on Moore trying to rebuild their home.
Seems he was staying with a family with a dog while his parents where in Moore cleaning up.
Another article I read said that "a resident in the home had killed the dog." I assumed that to mean the owner took responsibility.

They’re testicle substitutes.
Amen. I love animals but having dogs around children bothers me. I know there are many better breeds for families with kids, but ever since my brother was bitten on the head by a Collie, I have never understood why some parents have dogs around small children.
I've owned seemingly placid house cats (untrained in security) who suddenly attacked random humans they perceived as a threat, or just intensely disliked on sight.
People forget that their beloved pets are also potentially dangerous animals capable of inflicting lethal harm.
Unlike an inert weapon, they do have minds of their own, and are capable of suddenly performing irrational acts.
Prayers sent for all involved.
