We should send her thank you cards.
It's nice to hear about people taking personal responsibility these days.
Any dog which bites to the point of needing stiches
If a bite breaks the skin it breaks the skin (which is my definition of a "bite"), regardless of needing stitches or not.
I would also hazard a guess that the dog did plenty of barking and growling before the kid finally got bitten. Those are warning signs that someone should have picked up on. The dog did everything it could to warn the kids beforehand.

You have NO way of knowing that.
Stitches? The dog is pretty serious.
The face? Again, pretty serious.
Even with plenty of warning, even with hands off teasing, a dog should NOT bite like that. That is being aggressive, unless there is some definition of aggression which excuses the dog based on minor provocation.

Some dogs are just afraid of kids. Which is why I'm sure the owner told everyone to stay away from the dog.If this dogs lives in a home without children and the owner is responsible about it (which he/she does sound like), I don't see why this dog should be put down.
