I agree with you lizbud. Having a toddler that young, you should know their schedule like when they wake up, which means you better be up too. I read this article on another forum and it was called a "tragic accident" and I also agree with the comment someone made about that: "it was a 'tragic accident', but if it was a Pit Bull or Rottweiler, it would have been a 'vicious attack'."

I think the dogs saw something crawling through the dog door and thinking it was another animal they went after it.
