Nintendogs blamed for actual dog attack

And in this week's 'The DS Can Do Everything' and 'WTF News' section....

A dog, a bull mastiff to be exact, lunged at a 9-year old girl after it was purportedly 'startled' by the bark of an in-game dog in Nintendogs that the girl was playing then. Her lip was bit off by the dog, and surgically reattached. The dog was put down.

"I think this game should carry some kind of warning," the girl's grandmother told the Mail. "People should be told not to play it when there are dogs in the room. I blame the game for what happened to Megan. If they hadn't been playing it I don't think the dog would have gone for her."

This is the most ironic thing I've ever read, and sounds like a big pile of BS. A few sites have reported that the girl had accidentally kicked the dog before it attacked her. That might be the reason, and not the Nintendogs game.
