My thoughts exactly. I remember a story where a burgler broke into a yard to get into a house and when he got bit by the dog out back he sued because there were no signs up saying the people had a dog.. he won. I always assume that no matter what my dog will be the one held at fault for anything whether its his fault or not or whether he was provoked or not and I just try and keep him out of a situation that could potentially result in me loosing him.
