I think ANY dog can do damage to a finger, especially if hungry. How do we know they even fed the dog and it wasn't starving? One of my rats bit Dylan once so badly he had to have 6 stitches in his finger, because he had the smell of food on his hand. Did we euthanize the rat? NO, why? Because she thought it was food and bit first and asked questions later. Was it our fault? Damn right it was, Dan should have closed the door behind him and never let Dylan in there as he knew that doe was fed through the bars in the past, teaching her that everything that came into the cage was food, not human fingers.

When you become a parent you have a special responsibility to keep your children safe. If I knew my son was paralyzed and could not feel biting I would make sure I supervised my son and the dogs interaction together, since puppies are known to playbite and knawl etc.
