[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was the breed?  I bet I can guess. [/quote]

I believe a Cairn Terrier.  Or a mix.  It was a smaller dog, probably 15 pounds. [/quote]

People talk about large breeds but the nastiest dogs I've ever been around are some yappy little ones.[/quote]

Small dogs are usually more aggressive but are also relatively harmless.

A large dog could easily kill a child.  This small dog that OP even admits did very little damage.

I get that the situation was scary but I do think OP overacted.  A good washing and some hydrogen peroxide would have saved them a lot of money.

People don’t like to hear it but smaller dogs are just not dangerous.  Even the mean ones.  It sounds like this dog put it’s all to the attack and still DD didn’t even need stitches?  So why does it need to be put down?  She could have gotten hurt worse had she just tripped over her own two feet and skinned her knee.

OP, I assume she’s your oldest.  Take it from an experienced parents.  Little incidences like this will happen often. Scraped knees, hurt feelings, but bites, mean dogs.  It’s hard to see our kids hurt but be mindful not to overreact.  Your reaction probably scared her more than the little crusty dog. [/quote]

Doctor here. This is not true. Dog bites warrant medical attention and abx treatment.[/quote]

NP but I agree - my sister's small dog (a westie) bit me when I was pregnant, and the wound (which was really a minor scrape, it wasn't a hard bite) got infected. I had to get antibiotics.[/quote]
