[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The dog needs to go. This is serious and will only get worse. The dog has bitten 3 different children? Including their own? And they still have the dog? I'm sorry but that just doesn't make any sense.
I would call Animal services and report the dog as well as the bite history. I would certainly never send my kids over there, nor would i let that dog into my home. 
Absolutely negligent on the owners part, I can't tell if this is a troll post. Like....how? Why? What?!

OP here--not a troll--we didn't learn that this was the THIRD incident until we saw the family yesterday after the most recent and third bite happened on Saturday night. The parent we saw also said that every time it has happened it has involved a child approaching the dog from behind and surprising it. This incident involved their own child crawling behind the dog underneath a table.

I wasn't sure if there's more we should do to raise to the family. Our kids love spending time at their house, but, I'm definitely nervous now given what we know. And I was pretty shocked when the parent justified the aggression by saying that the stray had been "raped" just did not sit well with me all around. [/quote]
