Ambulance-chasing lawyers like to go after those “Warning “ signs.
State cops said BS for my state.
The signs warn that the dogs may be in the yard, as in CLOSE THE GATE you fool.
Not a single “beware of dog” sign in sight.
Our castle doctrine is mercilessly wonderful.
However, I do have a “Trespassers will be shot and fed to dogs” sign.
[so barbaric]
Point being, the dogs NEVER are loose in the front yard where the gate the awful & dangerous outside world is.
This dude bypassed no trespassing signs, the gate with a lock hanging in it, and wandered up through the next gate to the smaller of the dog yards and blithely let himself in.
Himself was not aware that anyone was out there skulking around his shop and let the girl out to pee in the morning, like he always does.
Imagine everyone’s surprise.
We even got the guy to sign a paper of no liability for it.
