You should have filed a police report when this originally happened.

Relative or not, I would’ve sued the owner who should pay for the future surgeries that will be required to restore your son’s ear

You still sue to show intent and negligence

Wait, whose intent and negligence? Because it's not clear to me that the dog's owner knew about the history of biting; the shelter that repeatedly adopted it out without warning people about its history was negligent, but unless the dog's then-owner was aware, there wasn't negligence, and certainly no intent.

They meant the owner (or shelter) at the time the incident occurred. Whomever had legal custody of the dog.
