How times and/or parents change. In the 1960s my young cousin was bitten on the lip by a neighbour's Smooth Fox Terrier. In those days dogs were few and roamed free but some were chained up at night. Kids roamed free too. When my cousin came in crying and complaining my mother said "it is your own fault, you know he's cranky. You should have left him alone."
Interestingly, when I mentioned that the "dog attack" had been filmed, a neighbour suggested that maybe that was to get compensation. Seems to be a delay in people coming to help?
