NO dog is worth that risk. You can convince yourself that it will not happen

again and you can watch him closer. You can never watch him all the time. I absolutely love dogs but I've never had one bite on of my kids either. It's obvious that the dog (unprovoked) saw him as a threat and that won't change overnight or maybe at all. I"ve had dogs that let my toddlers pull their tails and ears and never snip at them.
good luck
