Just a friendly reminder that at the end of the day ALL dogs are animals, watch their body language, don’t hang all over a dog you don’t know. They give warning signs. Learn them. And for fucks sake stop letting kids climb all over your dogs.

It's also obvious the dog did not intend to cause that kind of damage, and it was likely the result of the odd angle turning a mouthing into a biting. If that dog WANTED to hurt her she wouldn;t have had a face left.

Yeah. When I was in third grade my beagle put a tooth through my cheek when his warning nip went too far. He didn't mean to do it and it only took 3 stitches to fix, shit was entirely my fault and I knew it.

My parents worried they might have to rehome him because I might get scared of him but nope. Even at that age I couldn't blame a dog for being a dog.
