You think you’ve got it made.  You finally find a nice home in Corcord, CA, a nice suburb of the SF Bay Area served by BART and great warm weather.  You’ve got two sons almost fully grown, 19 years old and 13 years old.  You live on a street called Trailcreek Court.  You have a few dogs in the yard.  American dream accomplished, check.

Yes your Honor, I owned dogs.

Then your dogs maul your 2 year old step-grandson and now you’re in jail for child endangerment and you’re only 52 years old.
