I’m sure I’m going to get downvoted, but I anecdotally see a lot of dog attacks come down to a few things, breed aside:

A. Unfamiliar dogs/people
B. Entitled or careless owners
C. Lack of respect for/infantilizing dogs
D. Lack of training/management/boundaries
E. Indiscriminate dog breeding/unknown lineage
F. Suppression or lack of follow through on non-human attacks (or dog is so small it doesn’t cause the same level of damage but is still a menace)

This situation should have never happened, regardless of breed because one should not leave kids alone/unsupervised with unfamiliar dogs! Heck, even if one knows the dog, one should think very carefully about leaving children unattended. Dogs are dogs no matter how cute and fuzzy they are. The best way to make sure a situation doesn’t happen is to avoid setting up an environment where it can happen.

And as much as it is sad, I do think there are some dogs that just aren’t “right” and they do need to be put down. Fair to the dog? No. But odds are that dog shouldn’t have been made in the first place. But I think if the things I listed were addressed, we’d have much fewer attacks in general.
