The owner is at fault. All dogs should be on a leash in a residential area unless they are specifically in an off-leash park.
But all that aside, I wish Sliver would introduce, in the proper environment, his daughter to some stable, well behaved dogs.... definitely start with the smaller breeds though.
I'd love to introduce her to Ryley but at 2-1/2 years old and weighing 75 lbs he's not the best first option for your daughter. Maybe in another couple of years when he calms down a little more. He'd never hurt your daughter but in his enthusiasm to greet and play with your child he can get a little over powering.
Please introduce your daughter to some well behaved dogs. You are doing her an immense disservice if you let her fear of dogs grow into a phobia <<ahem... cough cough>>
