In our city, and possibly elsewhere, if somebody sticks their hand in my yard and my dog bites it, I am responsible. Having a "Beware of dog" sign can be misinterpreted as knowing that you have a problem & warning others to stay away.

The law is NOT on the side of the dog owner. I'm sure Emily feels terrible - I would too. But, my point is that she needs to gather evidence NOW in case this should escalate. I feel it is my responsibility as a dog owner to protect my dog.
