This was not the first time the dog had done that, and a prior attack resulted in serious injury to a smaller dog.

Like DB, I would never harm a dog unless it threatened another dog. And then, all bets are off.
I understand kicking a dog in the windpipe if he is shaking a small dog.
I've been taking my dog to various dog parks for over sixteen years, and he's never had a problem,
but I keep him well away from any dogs that look "iffy".
