The woman is such a bad dog owner. Her child is a problem as well. She just does not take responsibility for her actions. She gave Paul a card, I suppose she meant it as a sympathy card, but it was cold and unfeeling. It in no way says she is sorry or in any way accepts responsibility for what happened.
Things are not going to end well for her dog. She will not get help training it. She clearly has no control over the dog and doesn't even try to control it.
Unfortunately large dogs sometimes see small dog as pray. Mistaking them for rabbits or other things that they see as food. If the dog also doesn't get along with other dogs the same size it should be muzzled when outside of the house. A note that not all dogs get along even if they are properly socialized. Humans don't get along with all humans either. That being said it sounds like she is clueless and doesn't know the first thing about how to properly train a dog. I would suggest lessons, there are ways to get dogs to ignore other dogs. Even helping her find lessons or making a few calls to see if there are any trainers in the area that are willing to work with harder cases. A good muzzle at this point is a necessity. If the woman isn't banned from bringing her dog I would suggest she must have her dog muzzled and if it shows the hint of being out of control that her and dog needs to be removed from the building and authorities called if she refuses. You have a responsibility to keep the animals and people in the store safe and if she is risking any of those lives, like she already has, then while it seems like you are being the bad person you are only thinking of the safety of others.
I know its rough and will take time to heal from the loss. I'm sure when he is ready he will find a dog in need of a home.
