Dog attacks in the dream stand for fake loyalty that turns around to harm you, while children represent innocence, new beginnings, blind trust, and lack of experience. Seeing a dog attack a child might represent an interaction between these qualities.
TL;DR: A dream about a dog attacking a child means that your trust in someone or something is misplaced and you will be harmed in the end.
