People might intervene, definitely.

Also, a friend of mine had his dog attack a kid a few years ago. The boy was playing with my friend's daughter. They were playing some form of tag, and the girl was shrieking. Dog saw and heard this, misinterpreted what was happening, and cleared the fence for the first time since my friend had owned the dog. Took the boy down by the lower leg.

Luckily, injuries were minor. Also luckily, the boy's parents were understanding about how the incident occurred, and were satisfied by my friend paying the medical bills.
