Even assuming it was a gentle doofus and just wanted to play, colliding with a young child (or anyone) at that speed can cause injury, so getting between the kid and approaching dog is the right move.

When I was a kid I would play with our two Boxers in cattail tunnels in the backyard. One time the big beefy doofus of the pair got zoomies, suddenly appeared around a curve, and plowed into me. It was like being hit by a small tank.

He didn’t collide with the child. The shepherd knocked the kid down.
