My youngest boy was bitten in a similar fashion, when he was about 2 years old. We were initially angry (natural parents reaction) but after the dust settled, realised that although he wasn't being cruel to the dog, he was constantly in it's face, on an extremely hot bothersome day and the dog was just tetchy. We should have seen the signs and avoided it.
Now 17, he has a healthy respect for animals, and always takes responsibility for the pets at home. Especially our two dogs, which he loves unconditionally.
Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam!
