UK. Isn't there some law about burglars coming in vs burglars going out? I'd imagine being bitten by a resident dog would come under the same banner. The home-owner defending his property being ok, or not? But then there's the situation re keeping a 'dangerous dog' on a private property now.
I've never had to put any of this to the test - if anybody came in here, they'd have been killed with kindness. Although at night mine are/were crated.
I knew of a family who had a black Lab. They had a plumber come in when they were not at home (arranged). He got in fine, but the dog wouldn't let him out again. He was found on their return later that day. He'd locked himself in one of the bedrooms and was not a happy chappy.
