I would not let someone I didn't know walk my dogs either.
Especially if it's a young child.
Unless you know the person and know how they are with dogs you are putting your dog at risk. How do you know they'll keep him safe? How do you know they'll keep him from dogs that might want to fight with him? How do you know they'll be fair and humane with him? How do you know they won't steal him?
It's up to YOU to keep your dog safe. You should always know the person you hand your dogs leash to or know they are someone you can trust to keep your dog safe and well. To do less is irresponsible.
