I'd say 1-3% of dog owners have "control" over their dogs. They're animals people, shit happens. If I let my 3 year old boy play with the generally gentle 5 year old boy down the hall and something really bad happens, you can't blame anything but life. There will be a hundred things that "could have been done to prevent..." but if we walked around life doing those things we'd all be wound tighter than a mice's asshole.
If you had the bigger dog in this situation and it had never bitten anyone or another dog before, would you be ready to put your dog down? I dunno. It's a tough situation.
I had a dog that couldn't be trusted in certain situations. He was extremely gentle and kind, but he always ended up doing things he immediately regretted, and he was territorial. I got him when he was 2 from an abusive situation, I don't know if there's anything I could have done. When my wife was pregnant, it was time for him to go.
