Urg, I want to stab myself in the eye after today. Kids toss a ball into a yard. Instead of going to the front door (owners were home) one kid decides to drag a recycling container over and jump their six foot wood fence into the yard with three Bull Mastiffs. Dogs bite kid, kid is in the hospital in stable condition and they are talking about euthanizing the dogs. This has been ALL OVER the local news today.

Seattle Authorities Hold Dogs That Mauled Boy
SEATTLE -- Seattle Animal Control is holding three bull mastiffs for observation after the dogs badly mauled a 10-year-old boy who climbed into their fenced yard to retrieve a ball.
Enforcement officer Don Baxter told The Seattle Times Sunday that no decision about the dogs' fates will be made until an investigation is completed.
Seattle police say three brothers were playing at a field in South Seattle Saturday when their ball flew into the backyard of a house. Police spokeswoman Renee Witt says the boys pushed a garbage can against the 6-foot fence and the 10-year-old climbed over.
She says the boy suffered large gashes to his head and throat and a possible broken arm. He was taken to Harborview Medical Center.
