Then perhaps no one should bring them into public, ever. What type of
dog do you own, or have you owned?

The dog in this tale is a MFing rottweiler.

Did the little girl in the original post go up and pull the dog's
tail? No, she attempted to be affectionate.

I agree, but the dog's owner had just assured them that it was a
friendly dog.

Every effing owner of either a rottweiler or pitbull ALWAYS says that their
dog is really friendly and great with kids.
Those people must live in a parallel universe.
And don't go on about it not being the dog's fault but the owner! It's in
their effing nature, just as a collie will snap at kid's heels and try to
round them up if it gets excited.
