Accident or Intentional?

We have a young man on his 4-wheeler, riding carefree in the front yard. What a pleasant scene at the Ford Homestead.
A boy on his ride and the Fords trusted guard dog Tejas, laying in the front yard. Alex’s 4-wheeler had been charged the night before and was running at full speed; almost 2 mph. Alex had made several thrilling trips around the circular flower bed showing his riding skills by occasionally riding on two wheels.
OH MY!
What happened?

               Did the young man on the 4-wheeler run over the Ford’s trusted guard dog Tejas?                 Did he really back away and laugh at the poor animal lying in his back with all 4 feet up in the air?  What kind of evil child could do such a thing?
               Sob, Cry, Sob, Cry…

              Or, is it possible that Tejas was scratching his back and Alex had stopped politely waiting for the animal to get out of the way before making another lap.

The front yard was looking good this morning. I had mowed and watered it yesterday and the grass was standing up and looking good.  After Alex finished riding and tejas finished rolling several times, the poor yard looked as if there had been a buffalo stampede across it.
