re: Rottweiler kills 70 yr old owner

My cousin had a beautiful male German shepherd, good temperament, well behaved, never had a problem with the dog around his two kids. One day, his son was swinging on the swing set in the backyard and somehow he fell out of the seat and broke his arm. He was laying on the ground crying, my cousin ran out there to get his son, but the dog was standing there guarding the kid, wouldn't let anyone near the kid. They ended up getting rid of the dog.
