Yes, I can imagine. When I was about 6 I was chased and bitten by a German Sheppard. My dad explained why the dog what he did as he was taking care of my wounds. We went and found the dog and it's owner, and I got to meet the dog again in a more controlled setting. And so began a great lifelong relationship with dogs; all from being chased down and being bit.
My earlier mention of "every dog gets one bite" has been around for hundreds of years; and the most important thing is that now this particular dog will have to be handled much differently now that it has done this.
I don't dispute that this is on CPS- the handler and the dog. I just think execution should not be the only response to a dog bite. If any group has the resources to deal with getting the dog the proper training and/or change of environment that it needs, it should be a major city's K-9 department.
