Thanks for commenting, Powell (and thanks to everyone else, too). I
believe that the child knew the dogs - I don't think they were his,
but his parents were standing right there, and they knew the owners of
the dogs.
Not that it necessarily matters.
A well socialized dog is a lot safer to be around than most people.

The cover page shows a young lady petting what is thought of as a
"dangerous breed" by many uneducated people.
This was taken at a birthday party. I'm not sure who was holding the
dog's leash, but was probably a child about the same age as the kid
petting the dog.
Neither child had met the amimal prior to that moment.
"Punish the deed not the breed", it says.
Punish the owner, I say.
