My brother was almost killed once in public when he was 8, by an out of control husky. The husky was not on a leash and simply ran up behind my brother out of nowhere and bit him in the back. The doctor said the lung was almost punctured. Having said that, I must say this: I like all dogs, own many dogs and am certain that a dog's behaviour is a strong reflection of the owner's. The person at fault for the attack was a truly stupid and irresponsible witch who let her dog run free, even though he was known to attack kids. Some dogs are genetically more prone to attack, or "break out" of their usually disciplined behaviour. Huskies are one of these breeds. They need an owner who is disciplined and is strong enough to gently, positively but firmly create an enviroment (of mutual respect)where the human is always boss, no matter how young. There are limits you must respect though, and bringing a kitten into "the pack" is just asking for trouble. In short: It's the owner who is responsible, not the dog and sorry; mentioned friend does not sound very responsible so far.
