I hold the owners to a greater level of responsibility than the dogs. The owners put their dogs in a dangerous situation for all involved: the pups, the mother dog/father dog, the beagle, the victims and themselves.
I see it as similar to letting your dog run around playing in traffic...it's not the dogs fault when it gets hit and killed...it's probably not the drivers fault, but the owner could have and should have prevented the situation.
When people are caretakers for animals, it is their responsibility to protect the animals from harm and the public from their animals...sadly, many people are not good animal caretakers.
