I don't think rehoming her is nessecary, since Rosie is only dog-aggressive.

Actually, Pattycat said that previous to this attack, Rosie had only been aggressive towards strange dogs, not the other dogs in her “pack”. So Rosie’s behaviour has significantly changed from the “usual” and therefore her future behaviour is unpredictable.

The older terrier probably provoked Rosie so she retaliated a little too hard. I don't think she would do something like that on purpose.

Yes, probably. But what if the 3-year-old “provokes” Rosie one day? In almost every case of a child mauled by a pit bull, the animal had “never been aggressive towards humans before”. Remember, the dog sees both the dogs and humans in its environment as being part of it’s “pack”; therefore, it is a small step from attacking one member of the pack to attacking another.

I wouldn’t expose my child to that kind of risk, myself.
