Given the continuous, prolonged play by a group of excited young children while the dog was restrained on a leash, a reasonable person would have foreseen a real risk that the dog could become over‑excited or misinterpret a child's acts and bite; the defendant was negligent in failing to ensure periodic supervision or to move the dog beyond the children’s reach and was vicariously liable for her domestic helpers' failure to supervise.
