After how many savage fatalities have we heard how the dog was always gentle and great with people prior to the incident? I don't think you can ever be overly cautious when it comes to the welfare of strangers around your dog. Especially children.
You almost made my point for me. I was referring to your dog and his lack of socialization as much as the dog responsible for the attack. You blame other dog owners but take no responsiblity for your dog who you admit is unpredictable.

If you're afraid to have your on-leash dog encounter children on the street, you're doing it wrong.
