I think it also matters where the dog bit. In this case the dog bit the kid on the leg.
I also agree the family should be compensated, and the dog should not be allowed to live nearby. |
There's more than "one bite" to this incident, IMO. If the kid came into the dog's yard and it nipped him, then fine.
This large, aggressive dog escaped from his trainer and yard, took off after a child, chased him into his own house, bit him on the leg and knocked him down and wouldn't let go while three adults were trying to get him off. That's pretty dangerous behaviour for a dog that is supposed to be well trained. Considering the dog's "job" is to listen to its handler and deal with humans in stressful situations, it's not a good sign.
