Our K-9's (Wilson PD) are trained to detect drugs , a couple explosive dogs, and still be able to apprehend suspects. "Attacking" is part of their training as well. That being said, they do demonstrations with children all of the time and none of them have ever acted aggressively toward one. Just from what the article said, the K-9 in question was still in training, which makes it sound like the dog was not certified yet.
