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.

I don't think that's the case though.  I don't think a dog that bites someone because they are being abused are any more likely to bite a person not abusing them unless they are like abused near 24/7... espiecally a Labrador Rotweiler mix.  Animals don't just randomly attack people.

Quite honestly, Labradors and Rottweilers are two of the chillest dog breeds out there from what I've read, the latter just gets a bad reputation due to well people pushing their dogs over the edge with extreme means, because they're basically gentle giants.

Both kinds of dogs are about as good with kids as your EVER going to get out of an animal... any animal.

I agree. That's why the dog would undergo evaluation: if he's not a danger (and he probably isn't) then he would be fine to come back and that'd be that.

They don't just kill dogs out of hand at Animal Control.

Of course, the family isn't doing this, so it's hard to know for sure at all.

Eh, Animal control can be quite lazy honestly, i've heard plenty of cases of dogs being put down just because... at least they HAVE an evaluation method though, unlike some other states.
