That's cool you got it to relative safety.
Early this summer my brother got a HUGE one across the road about a mile or so from here. It was on the main highway. He didn't get close enough to touch it, just stopped traffic so it could finish crossing.
I did wonder about your daughter playing with it. Glad it was too little to bite.
Dinosaur crossing beware. We let it go in a pond where we see a huge algae covered one that is almost tame enough to eat out of pur hand. We discovered the big guy when feeding carp, suddenly a large head emerged and was eating the fish food.
The hatchling was too concerned with finding water to bite. It did immediately start drinking when we put it in the pond, was probably thirsty from wandering around on blacktop.
