I do have children and a dog and personally know Vincent, actually. It is a shame what happened. Let me ask you this? Could you tell your children that their family pet who has shown no signs of aggression needs to be killed because this kid's parents haven't taught him how to behave around unfamiliar dogs? Yes, you may do that just like the Marchese's who have now been sited for threatening to murder the owners of the dog. Ridiculous.
