I read the first page of this post and I must ask this-why would you put your hand over and protect the elderly lady's hand (before the bite incident with the child) and stop her from petting your baby--but then give permission for a child to pet??? That confuses me! If your dog has been known to bite--why in the world allow any stranger (especially a child) who comes up and asks in a public place where he's would be most likely to bite? You should have gotten the child to ask his parents first or said NO! You should either muzzle your dog in public or leave it at home--why risk it ??? Especially with a child!!! If I were that childs mother--I'd hold you 100% responsible because you knew your dog could bite and allowed it to happen. My dog sometimes bites too--I can sympathize with you there though.
