[OMG!WTF!]

I don't think you should kill a dog for chasing down a person and biting him in the leg when you've spent the first two years of its life teaching it to chase people down and bite them in the leg. It's obviously not well enough trained and should be handled differently.

I think in this case the kid was right to run because of the dog's training. He would have been chomped in the leg anyway. But generally I see a painful amount of kids who have no idea how to act or react to dogs. If your kid is scared around dogs that will cause huge problems. We live with dogs and people should teach their kids something about that.
