I keep finding these stories…
Another report that a pet dog has killed a child, further evidence supporting the fact that dogs are far more dangerous than pet reptiles. This time a toddler in Las Cruces, New Mexico was killed by the family dog.

It’s awfully ironic that on 18 May 2012 a little girl named Makayla Darnell was killed by a dog in Toledo, Ohio (read that story here):

and less than three weeks later Ohio’s Governor Kasich signs SB310, the “Ohio Dangerous and Wild Animal Bill” which, oddly, does not cover dogs!
You Ohio reptile/exotic hobbyists might want to contact the Governor’s office and ask him why pet dogs are not banned by SB310, when clearly they are dangerous animals, and as we see, are responsible for far more human injuries and deaths than snakes or crocodilians.
