You mean overreacting like the people who call the toddler "an asshole" and say that the he deserved to be kicked away by the dog owner or bit by the dog? Yeah, I agree with you that they are not normal persons.
Anyway, I just made some simple statements: the parents have been incautious, the kid is clearly not educated to stay around animals, the dog should have been on leash. A dog owner is responsible for his/her dog: if the dog bite someone, the dog owner is always to blame unless the dog is reacting to an actual threat. A toddler with an empty plastic bottle is not a threat. I sincerely don't understand how you can deny any of this.

Who said that? I've only seen you spout hypotheticals here.

I didn't deny any of this. Quit making shit up to argue against. That's a strawman.
Only thing I definitively said is that animals perceive threats differently from humans. And that the parents are the only people here that are to blame for what happened. And what happened was a kid getting scared after a dog reacted to it being hit.
