“I had a mean-ass cute little Chihuahua bite my ankle once for no reason.”
He bit your ankle because that was as high up as he could reach.
I can't imagine leaving my dog unattended with a child.
I very closely supervise every interaction that takes place between him and a non-family member. Just a sensible precaution.
