If the dog had bitten her with intent to hurt her, it makes him a dangerous animal who might do it to other children who aren't abusing him, and that means that he would have to be put down, period.

Even if he didn't mean to hurt her like that, I'm not sure how much that changes things in the eyes of the law.

Is there such laws in the USA at federal or state level that dictate that any dog who bites must be put to death (unless it was commanded by an officer to bite a criminal or something)?

It's state level, I think - the laws in Euphoria's state were linked earlier in the topic. If it's classified as a dangerous animal who's likely to bite another child even if it's he nicest dog in the world otherwise, they would have to kill it.

But obviously this dog, like many normal dogs, will bite again if being provoked. Even if it is a child.

So in that sense he is likely to bite again, but I think the law means wether the dog is likely to bite unprovoked (or" too easily" provoked).
