Terrible tragedy!

Is it just me or does everyone hate the thought that they might not be able to trust their dog alone with a child?

Tom Wilson thought he was a good judge of animals - he had been a drover, and owned dogs all of his life. Then he found four-year-old Tyra Kuehne in his backyard on Wednesday night. Mauled to death by three hunting dogs the little girl had known all her life.

Mr Wilson reportedly wants the dogs shot today.

Little Tyra lived in the same street of Warren as Mr Wilson.

On Wednesday afternoon, she came wandering down the road with a dead chicken she’d found that she wanted to feed to the dogs…Mr Wilson’s son Joel, who was heading off to work at the time intercepted her… he grabbed the chicken and took Tyra home to her Mum…

At seven o’clock that night Mr Wilson himself arrived home from work and Tyra’s mother was there…Tyra had been missing since 5pm….Mr Wilson said she wasn’t there and joined the hunt in the street.

All of a sudden he head the dogs, and realised the two males had broken free of their chains.

He went out the back and said at first he thought the dogs were playing with a doll…

He said the dogs walked over to him like they had done nothing wrong..

The fact of the matter was Tyra visited those dogs every day.
Mr Wilson said he went over to where the lifeless little body was lying..
“I turned the little darling over. It was Tyra."

Mr Wilson could do nothing to save the girl.
"I ran out the front, told her mother that she's in the backyard and the dogs, or dog, have attacked her. Her mother screamed frantically, 'Bring her out.' I said, 'I can't."'

It turned out little Tyra was still breathing..slightly…but she was pronounced dead at 3am..
It’s a terrible tragedy…

The three dogs are now at the pound in Dubbo. Mr Wilson wants them shot.

Mr Wilson thought himself a good judge of a dog's nature - the attack on Tyra was "right out of the dogs' character", he said. "I wouldn't like anyone on earth to go through what our families are going through at the moment. I wouldn't wish that on the devil himself. What dogs do you trust? Fucking None.”
