It's amazing how sympathetic you can get toward an animal court case when you've experienced terror from an animal. I too was bit just over the eye (if you can believe that) by a German Shephard when I was a little kid.
Later in my pre-teenaged years, I remember waiting for the school bus one winter morning with my brother and a few other kids. There was what we knew to be a reasonaby friendly doberman and a terrir playfighting. They were playfighting until the doberman tasted blood (I'm guessing) because it started ripping the little black dog to bits. There was blood and dog parts everywhere and no small dog at the end of it all and also a few horrified onlookers who can't believe what they just witnessed.
I've seen the stories of some little kid needing facial re-constructive surgery because he/she was mauled by a pitbull. It makes me sick and should never happen.
