I would prefer to punish the ignorant owners rather then crucify a dumb animal. Not only have they set the dog up to be killed for totally natural actions, they have even worse cause the injury of a child.
Had the dog been roaming the neighborhood and attacked unprovoked rather then in a situation that is well known to cause aggression in dogs then I would opt for the beheading.
Don't get me wrong here, I am no animal activist, but having studied dogs for some time I have found that while they are comparatively simple creatures when placed next to men, their proper handling does require some attention to their basic instincts.
