The author of the article summed up my stance very clearly in their closing paragraph...
"We have lost our moral perspective when we don't recognize that the rights, safety, and welfare of children take precedence over even our most beloved pets. If any of my dogs ever bit a child and caused serious injury, I would seek a different, safer environment for the dog or, more likely, put him or her down, unwilling to ever take the chance that it might happen again. It wouldn't matter whose fault it was, if anyone's. "
And, no, it wouldn't matter if the dog was some other breed. If you own a dog large enough and strong enough to inflict serious damage on a human being, you run the risk of losing that dog if/when it attacks someone. Doesn't matter whose fault it is, the human must take priority over the dog.
