'The Term 'Under the Hood' Has New Meaning Now'

BROOKFIELD: "I am so sorry for the children that had to witness the attack and death of their poor baby. What a horrible event. Let me now say that the Rottweiler is not the problem. It's his owners. That dog should not have been tied up outside. Chaining dogs creates possessiveness and [aggression]. The dog needs proper exercise, training and should be in a fenced in area.
