| Wow, you're either going to be bombarded or a lot of people will show up and tell you that you made the right decision. IMHO a dog should not feel the need to protect you or his home from a 4 year old. That doesn't change the fact that a child that age needs to be supervised very closely which is probably why you won your case. You didn't say how severe a bite it was. An attack? A nip? I'd be interested to know that, but I personally would have put him down. You can never be sure that the same or similar situation won' t present its self.
