Yeah, I think the AC tries its best to work with owners and only removes truly vicious, dangerous dogs from their family after a wounding bite or actual attack but another bite could violate the letter of the law, make him a two-time biter and cause them to try to get him judged as a vicious/dangerous dog. I'm so glad no one was hurt, including your little one, during whatever happened with the old lady.
As he's "bitten" once, I'd always be sure to keep him securely leashed out in public, his vax's current per your state's laws, that he's registered with the city, if that is required, and always wears his license and I.D. tags in public so they can't tag you with breaking any other of the dog ordinances. And even if it kills you, be respectful and cooperative with the Animal Control officers, which will go a long way toward influencing the tone of the report they make.
