There was a horrible event this weekend in one of the zoos of a child falling into the enclosure of African painted dogs and being mauled to death within minutes. 
Wild dogs killed 2-yr old boy
Apparently, such accidents are very rare, thank Goodness! I am not blaming the parents for standing up the child on the rail but I think we should remember to always take more precaution.
Apparently, these dogs are some of the most dangerous, predatory animals in nature. "Its large teeth allow it to consume a lot of bone in the same way a hyena does and it has a bite force quotient - BFQ, the strength of bite relative to the animal´s mass - measured at 142, the highest of any carnivore, except for the Tasmanian devil. They are extremely aggressive and nearly 80 per cent of their hunts end in a kill - as opposed to a lion with a success rate of just 30 percent."
