i have a medium sized working dog, very sweet and gentle around family, but EXTREMELY aggressive towards strangers. we live in the country, on a ranch. she rarely sees anyone but us, i think that's how she got this way. the dog has her own half-acre pen, strong fencing, with plenty of "Beware of Dog" signs on fence and gates. whenever someone comes over, we also make sure to warn them about her.
even though the dog will be snarling and drooling everywhere ready to rip them to shreds, some people will still try to mess with her when we turn our backs. once a friend of mine thought it was funny to stick his boot under the fence, only to have the dog rip holes in it. he was very angry at ME even though he was clearly warned. several times we've stopped people in the nick of time when they actually reached their hands in the fence.
if someone (someone pretty dumb!) were to get bit by her, could i still get in trouble?
