Yes. By their parents and not school teachers.
It is very important not to demonize dogs to young children but equally important to demonstrate that dogs can and will bite if threatened or surprised.I was brought up with dogs and my father was a dog trainer and I was taught by him why and when they are likely to bite.

Both Spath tbh, lots of kids think it's fine to rugby tackle dogs, hug and kiss them, grab them around the neck, pull their ears and tail even when it's a strange dog in an open space, and that's down to their parents and lack of education about treating animals with respect as Jim says. Equally you get idiot owners who haven't bothered to socialise their dogs responsibly or dogs who have had bad starts and are now with good owners who are trying to do exactly that. I consider all my dogs bombproof under pretty much all situations because I put in the effort but I would NEVER leave them alone with a child, as woof says that's why kids get bitten.
I don't see anything in that article that says that a dog should bite. The implication, which I agree with is that dog bites are mainly caused by the actions of humans. The majority of dogs will eventually bite if people continually stress them. The stressing may be deliberate, done because its funny, or just through ignorance but its always the dog who pays with its life.
Animals can't really be held to account for their actions as they are mostly guided by instinct, rather than morality. So in that sense, yes, animals should usually be regarded as innocent, in the moral sense at least.
On a related note, I always feel sad when a violent dog is "destroyed", partly because the use of that word treats such a dog as merely a broken object, rather than something alive. It may be the better of two evils to put such dogs to sleep, but still seems chilling.

A well trained dog can be both a work tool and a member of a family.
Our long haired Bavarian looked like a wolf and was harnessed up to a santa sleigh at kids parties. After presents were handed out then the dog was petted by small children as he was so furry and cuddly looking.
When on duty mode the fangs and snarl would scare any adult let alone a small child.The dog was so trained to switch from one mode to another at a word of command. I still have two photos to demonstrate what I just wrote.

Dogs don't have morals. The choose to do things on the basis that the action has a good result (for them).
Most dogs will always choose flight over fight. Bites happen when the dog is in a stressful situation it cannot remove itself from.....even then, most dogs will signal before they bite. The dogs who go straight to bite do so because they have learned that the signals don't work on idiot humans.
