Only in that case the dog snapped at the boy after the boy yanked on its testicles. In both the original article and the one above, it's just a case of bad parental supervision. You don't let a young child play with an animal unsupervised. In the case of a big dog or a cat, I wouldn't even let the child near the pet at all. It's common sense.
From the article:
Quote:
“Caine is a little boy and he is curious and that is what they do. A good dog will not attack,” she says.
Yes, curious children can't help themselves, they just have to know what happens when they pull on a dog's testicles. A dog who has his testicles pulled on in a painful manner won't do anything about it unless they are vicious. Really, how many times has she touched a dog inappropriately for her to make a comment like that?

EDIT: I loved one of the comments below the article, "I hope the dog recovered from this terrible ordeal"
