1. The neighbour's reaction to the incident is perfectly understandable and in no way indicative of how she treats kids. LW 1 is way out of line here. Her dog got out of control and jumped her neighbour. LW1 needs to profusely apologize to the neighbour, keep the dog on a stronger, non-slippable leash whenever he's outside, and take her dog to behavioural training now, before the dog ends up hurting a person.
2. LW2's brother is way out of line. Frankly, his house is not safe for anyone since he refuses to keep his dog under control. The brother is lucky that LW2's son was not severely injured or killed; and he actually got to keep the dog. Maybe he should be thinking of that, rather than resenting LW2 for doing the right thing by reporting the dog. The next time, brother might not be so lucky.
The son may figure out they don't see LW2's brother anymore because of the dog attack. LW2 needs to reassure his son that the attack was not his fault.
