Poor child to be left orphaned, but sweeping generalisation were made by others comments, such as no-one can look after a child but it's parents. Have you never heard of adoption? By the way dogs are not meaningless, just because they loved their dogs, doesn't mean they didn't love their child. In hindsight, the couple were hasty, but they paid for it with their lives. It's sad that people rush into judge, humans make mistakes. We don't know what the child will feel in later life. let's hope she will show more humanity & compassion than was shown here.I'm sure that the parents did not expect to die & they paid the greatest price for that.
