We've all heard someone blaming video games for causing violence in teenagers, but a recent news story put a new twist on the old story. Now a game is being blamed for inciting a dog to attack a young girl. I wish I could give a link to the full story, but I can't due to inappropriate content.
The girl, age nine, was playing Nintendogs on a DS, while a family friend's dog, described as a "bull mastiff cross," was nearby. The dog bit the girl in the face several times and tore off her upper lip. The dog, of course, was put down, but the local police say there was nothing illegal about the incident.
The girl's grandmother blames Nintendo, saying this game provoked the dog when a barking sound was played in the game. She's calling for games to now have warnings about playing near dogs. The girl's mother is apparently on vacation and hasn't cared enough to return home, even though her daughter had to have surgery to reattach a lip.
