Pamela Cassin told Channel 11's Gordon Loesch that she and her two young children were standing at a bus stop at the corner of Smithfield and Willis Streets in the Boston neighborhood, when a neighbor's two rottweilers attacked them.

"I turned around, and the dogs were charging at me and my two kids," Cassin said.
The Cassin's 5-year-old Pomeranian dog, Caesar, was killed.
"When they got the dog, and killed the dog, then they started chasing us. They weren't letting up," Cassin said.
The two Rottweillers somehow opened a door, got out of a five-foot fence and chased the family.
The owner, Bill Proneiker, said it was an accident. He said his dogs are not normally aggressive.
"I'm very sorry. My family is very sorry," said Proneiker.
[NOTE: An accident?! Since when can Rottweilers "open the front door" and then on top of it "get out of a five foot fence"??! And I suppose they ACCIDENTALLY killed the family Pomeranian right in front of the kids' faces. If the local laws do not force him to do so, this moronic owner needs to do the right thing and put these animals to sleep.]
Elizabeth Township police and the dog warden are investigating the incident.
The Rottweilers are under a 10-day quarantine and charges will be filed against the owners for harboring a dangerous animal.
