I think you made the right decision, as painful as it is.

A dog that we had for 6-years snapped at my son (2 years old at the time)
and bit him just above the eyebrow and forehead. It just barely broke the
skin, but that same day we surrendered him to a shelter (that eventually
found him a new home).

He also was a very good dog up until my son started to get to close to him.

You just never know and it just isn't worth the risk. It was very hard for
us to make the decision to get rid of him, but I think we made the right
one.
