“Bad of the owners not to better secure the dogs within the bounds of the home,” Why they have a fenced yard the the girl entered without permission and they are just protecting the owners propoerty.
Yep. As they say...Life is hard, and it’s harder when you’re stupid.

Scratching head - I just reread the article again to make sure. You got a different source? I see nothing about a fenced yard, just the dogs bursting through a screen door.
In passing the signage to knock, she did cause offense. But she did not breach a barrier that allowed for physical contact. The dogs did.
Some adult [door-to-door salesman, Jehovah’s Witness, whatever] ignores my signs to knock anyway, I get to come to the door in nothin but a bloody apron and a knife and cut loose with all the offensive language I wanna, but the law still doesn’t allow me to hit them. Or to sic the dogs on them. Though I can’t say I’ve never grinned like a pie-eyed moron and {whoopsie!} let the dogs out to pick runs in their pantyhose.
The day 2 motorcyclists managed to smash themselves into the ditch beyond my driveway, a passerby who stopped to render assistance sent his son to knock on my door to call 911. The exact address was seen by the dispatcher (not that speed of service mattered much for those poor buggers). Should the good Samaritan have been rewarded by having my dogs bust out the door to chew his son’s arms off?
Getting back to the present situation... In the case that the girl unlatched the gate to a fence that otherwise kept the dogs contained as intended: As you were! (Meaning I stand corrected.)
