sounds to me like any time your child is threatened by an animal you not only have the right to do something about it, but the duty. If you neglected your child's safety, you would be negligent as a parent.

It is not your fault they have a bad dog, and you have more than a right to protect yourself, your child, and your property.

The fact you feel guilty about it proves you are no way a bitch...a bitch would do it out of spite without remorse, while you do it with good reasons while feeling bad for it. :-)
