I pity the animal that has a confrontation with a human if the human provoked it. Animals have no voice, and people so often are cruel liars. Children are not angels, and anyone who thinks so is a fool. And in this case (though not most others) I just have a feeling that little darling was kicking a tied-up dog and got what she deserved. But mostly I just think big dogs and small children should never be together unsupervised.
In the attack the dog grabbed the girl by the arm and pulled her on the ground before scratching her back and taking a chunk out of her head, exposing her skull.
You have no evidence that the kid, a 7 year old, did anything to the dog, and yet you say she "got what she deserved. skin ripped off exposing he skull. I suppose if she cut a leg off the dog with a cleaver or maybe stabbed it in the gut with a bayonet I might agree with you, but as it stands your attitude toward toward a human child as compared to a dog still leaves me questioning your humanity. I also question the judgement and sanity of people who have small children get large dogs.
