This story just breaks my heart and makes me physically ill. I cannot believe the gall of some people and their animals. If I ever had a dog do something like that to another dog, I wouldn't be hightailing it and running away like a coward.
I really hope that the family can get the kind of help they deserve and eventually they are able to adopt another cavalier. I can't imagine witnessing something like that. Those poor children.
What a shame.

OMG - horrific... The poor little pup
It is a very sad story and I hope they find the dog and the owners as they should be held responsible. It is really sad that people who own bull breeds don't properly socialise them to other dogs and don't carefully manage them.
But I must say I am shocked parents would have had a 6 year old walking a puppy, and had allowed a TWO year old to carry her! The parents should have been walking the puppy and would have been far more able to manage an emergency (as they clearly saw the dog running towards them across the field; they could have just picked the puppy up), and maybe the death would have been prevented. I do think people have to take special care to mind a puppy or any dog in in a public place as not all dogs are friendly.

absoloutely horrifying!We hear too many stories of Pits and other powerfull breeds attacking and even killing children ,dogs and other animals. I really belive its time to prevent the wrong kind of people owning theese breeds.I my opinion I think people should have to attent special classes in how to handle/raise/socialize theese breeds.
In Iceland Pitts and equally powerfull breeds like Dogo Argentino and other like breeds are not allowed.I must admit that I´m pretty happy with that arangement when I hear stories like this one.
I heard about this on another site & it absolutely shook me to pieces! it doesn't matter What breed of dog it was which was attacked, it's outrageous!!! I always think I'm safe from this sort of thing because I live in a lovely area - the Cotswolds - but I notice that these people also live in a nice area & how dreadful for the children to see this. It's very scary indeed. I can only hope that the poor little pup died quickly? Bless you little one, no one can harm you now

The six year old was only holding the lead Karlin. The parents would have been there too. How many people can say they have honestly let their 6 year old hold the lead of the puppy they adore?! Dont think they can be penalised for that.
I do agree that they could have picked the pup up though. If I saw a dog, off lead that I didnt know, regardless of breed, running towards Holly I always picked her up! Its just such a sad story! I cant even imagine what the poor children are going through!
I agree with what the OP said about having all dogs attend classes and be adequately socialised. I attended a meeting recently regarding legislation on dogs and this was something that pretty much everyone agreed on!

I know it must have all happened so fast and for that pups sake I hope it was fast, but Id have had a good try at kicking the brians out of that dog. I could NEVER stand by and watch my dog be savaged without trying anything even if I got bit. I would hope to at least break a few bones -prefeably in its head !!. SO SAD.
Having said that a cavalier I bred had her throat ripped out by a cross alsation that she had been brought up with.The owner was giving them a treat and she must have got in front of the other dog as before he could do anything , he heard a yelp, turned round and the cavaliers throat was out, so in nano seconds it can happen.

Oh my gosh. That has me shaking and in tears. I am so sad for the poor children and how terrified that little puppy must have been. Like someone else said, I hope it was over fast for her.
I just spoke with a friend who lives about 2 hours from me last week. She, along with another neighbor, had been looking after a pit bull that had been abandoned at a yard on her street. She claims the pit bull was sweet to her and her dogs, and she would go feed it in the evenings and walk it with her dogs before taking it back to the property. (they were waiting on the landlord of the property where the dog was abandoned to sort out the mess). She stopped by her house to put her dogs inside before taking the dog back "home" and it rushed in her house and killed her cat she'd had for 14 years right in front of her.
Just as the cavalier has it's sweet nature because hundreds of years of breeding just for that have made it so, pit bulls and a number of other breeds have been bred for other purposes. I think people don't need to forget that.

So terrifying and devastating, oh that poor puppy poppy didn't stand a chance and neither would the children if the dog had attacked them. Glad to hear the police have taken this seriously. The owners are cowards for running away with the dog, owners like these gives these breeds their bad name.

Oh that poor little pup how sad
This is why you've got to be watching all the time you're out with your dogs 2 big akitas came running at us from nowhere while we were out the other day, l managed to pick Cody and Sophie up but that just left my older collie x Oscar, l was terrified they'd attack him they stood either side of him, then along comes the owner not a care in the world, It really shakes you up when this happens, so how those poor bairns feel l can't imagine
